It was a drift dive but with no currents. Drift means we start at one place and finish at a completely away place... :D
it was great, we have seen lot of kind if fish, mainly the special area was the aquarium spot where we saw a huge green fish (It was a Napoleon Fish) in addition to a lot of large fish and barracudas... Super dive
