Diver's Notes

DM: Wilson. After descending we swam out to the shot line so that Wilson could take a photo of a masked puffer fish feeding on a coral outcrop, whilst waiting for him I spotted a turtle. This was a very relaxed dive, we took our time and appreciated all the juveniles. I saw a Titan trigger fish (i Seem to attract them no matter where I dive) he was to far away for me to annoy him, On our way back we got to see a Torpedo ray swimming along the bottom.
