Returning back to Sharm from SS Thistlegorm we had time to do a third dive on Yolanda Reef.For abundance of marine life,this was one of the best dive's I've done.Descended onto the reef before semi drifting through a bank of about 50 Unicorn Fish.Also noticed a large group of Barracuda circling above us.Saw 2 separate huge Crocidile fish,Blue Ribbontailed Ray and a massive sleeping Triggerfish.Also swam past a huge Moray Eel in a reef crevice.Compuet in Error mode as I ascended too quickly at Thistlegorm so stayed above 20 metres using an SPG.Also used a 15 LTR tank.
