Diver's Notes

Small island about 25 min boat ride. Part of a bigger archipelago.

Dive is a full circuit around the island that offer multiple depths to explore. From 5 mts to 42 mts.

This was a deep/long dive and I finishes with slightly lower reserve. Had to do a 4 min safety stop at 15 feet in addition to the 3 min regular stop.

live variety is good and saw octopi, eels, grouper, red coral and Dalmatian nudibranch.

DM was very good at planning the dive.
