Diver's Notes

Nice second dive around several coral pinnacles on the outer reef.Still playing around with my camera.Saw a huge Titan Trigger Fish,Masked Puffer Fish and a family of about 10 Clown Fish.Also saw 2 Moray Eels,2 Ribbon Tail rays.Half way through the dive my buddy and I dropped down the edge of the reef shoulder to 32 metres where we saw a White Tipped Reef Shark!!!!Awesome.Around 1 metre in length but didn't hang around long enough for my to get a picture which was a shame.
