Diver's Notes

Amazing dive. 10 boats and approx 50 divers. We waiting for 15min and no Manta. As we swam off one came right for us so we returned.

AMAZING experience. The site is close to shore and with still reasonable swell we had to cling onto rocks. The swell was the biggest in 15yrs

Dive company had a lot of safety issues. Started boat safety before I arrived which was on time.
No last diver , master to watch. No regular checks on air. Left those low on air to find their own way back.
Not impressed

Boat is not very powerful. can't get out of the harbour on bigger days
