Diver's Notes

Took a trip out with Suzanne able to snorkel, to whats known locally as the Dolphin house.Descended from an arc in a reef forming a lagoon type area in the middle of the ocean to about 6 metres.From there we entered a cave apron 50 metres in length which was really cool.My tank slipped out of my BC before entering the cave which was interesting but the guide fixed it back in while in the cave.Saw a Moray Eel,Ble Spotted ribbon tail ray.After ascending from the dive we were very lucky to have the chance to spend 45 minutes snorkelling with a pod of between 25-30 Dolphins which was awesome!!!
