Diver's Notes

OWTC Dive n°2

Nice reef. In the round sandy area in the middle of the reef (look on the google map), there is a lonely anemone with a Panda clown fish family, and 2 ou 3 meters away, a lonely branch anemone with cleaner shrimps in it. Looks like someone put them here for diver's delight !
