Notes
Divemaster Tom (Example Divers)with four fundivers.
Within a few minutes we encountered a Titan Triggerfish, which sometimes can be aggressive. This one was relaxed and ignored us. We found a sea anemone with three Pink Anemonefish and spend some time watching these actieve little fish playing hide and seek. We swam into a group of hundreds of Yellowtail Barracuda, which as impressive to see.
