Details

The eleventh dive on the Pa Siren trip and the first at Current City.

The current was pretty strong and I can easily understand why this area is known as current city. Even from the boat we could see various currents colliding and causing turbulence on the surface.

This dive we spent much of our time over a rich reef area.
