Details

The night dive we had done on the wreck the previous night was so good we wanted to do it again. We managed to talk our guides into taking us again, although this time we were doing a sunset dive and getting into the water over an hour earlier. While the dive was still great, that hour made a huge difference to the amount of life that was out and about. There was much less to see but I did at least get to play with a cuttlefish up in the shallows at the end of the dive.
