Diver's Notes

Took a private early morning speed boat to the far side of Jackson reef with Aamer to look for Hammerhead and White Tipped Reef sharks.
Probably a 2 metre swell while using a backward entry into the water.No reference point and over a mile deep!Saw 2 large Green Turtles with one swimming level with me for about 30 seconds which was cool.Swam for a while over the reef before hanging in the blue for ten minutes shark spotting although we weren't lucky enough to see any sharks.
