Diver's Notes

Took a short Zodiac trip to the top of the south reef.Visibility wasn't amazing but ok.Saw the biggest Green Turtle I've ever seen just resting on the reef.Shell must've been over a metre in diameter!! Also encountered a large Bat fish,2 large Moray Eels and a Blow fish.After dive on ascension I nearly swam straight into another turtle coming up for air!!
