Diver's Notes

Descended beside a steep wall where I caught a two or three second glimpse of a large 2.5 metre Guitar Fish with remoras.Amazing.Borrow a camera for this dive (Canon G7).Got some shots of Titan Trigger fish and Giant clams.Also saw a Sergeant Major Fish before descending onto a shallow reef and performing our safety stop while exploring the reef.Nice dive.Navigation was ok.
