Details

The 27th dive on the Pa Siren trip and second at Coral Gardens. This time it was a sunset/night dive.

This was a pretty simple dive drifting down the reef. Unfortunately, for me, the camera stopped working only 20 minutes into the dive. I was still able to enjoy the dive but was worried I'd see something special and not be able to photograph it.
