Diver's Notes

Went looking for whale shark. Saw 2 one on scuba and one afterwards on snorkel. Saw black octopus walking on coral. Black tip reef shark.
Bit of a disaster as I chased after whale shark and then after a diver who was using a flash! RAN OUT OF AIR! Found Sinrey quickly and buddy breathed with him. Only downside was removing my full face mask and then remembering that my spare mask was set up on the dive dhoni to snorkel..eek! Anyway all ended well...Sinrey even managed to get me to do safety stop.
Removed one weight and felt better with buoyancy
