For our final dive, we opted for a relaxed exploration, veering right out of the inlet to observe sea life and extend our underwater time. After snorkelling to the entrance of the inlet, we descended and leisurely swam from left to right along the reef. We turned back after 30 minutes and at 110 bar, marvelling at the beauty of the sandy stretches, rocky outcrops, and pinnacles on this side. Staying shallow, we enjoyed an extended dive of 62 minutes. As we passed under a liveaboard, its looming shadow cast an eerie yet mesmerizing effect on the ocean floor. Among the sights were large Yellow bar Angelfish. This dive concluded our holiday perfectly—relaxed and filled with diverse marine life.

Jellyfish were at the pontoon, and before descending, we spotted a spotted pufferfish peacefully resting on the sandy bottom. This sighting hinted at the incredible sea life awaiting us on this dive. Our initial plan was to head towards Temple Reef on a heading of 210 degrees, but we encountered a strong current coming from 240 degrees right, veering down to the left at 60 degrees. Upon reaching Temple, we found several dive boats and a group already in the water. The current swirled fiercely around the pinnacles, causing concern about air consumption. Wilson decided to redirect us to shallower reef areas. It was then that I glanced up and spotted an eagle ray. To avoid disturbing students near the shoreline, we headed east and stumbled upon a geometric eel— a remarkable find!
