Diver's Notes

Awesome dive.At the beginning of the dive while swimming around a Bomby I came face to face with a White Tipped Reef Shark.Amazing. Also encountered four separate Green turtles, a gigantic Grouper,Mauri Wrasse and a large Batfish.Swam through and around various Bomby's before making our ascension.Upon surfacing, the boat was shouting to us as there was a Minky Whale sighting.We proceeded to hang onto the rope and observe a Minky whale swimming under and around us.Absolutely amazing once in a life time experience.Breath taking!!
