Details
Our last dive of the trip was with the grey nurse sharks again. We descended and swam around the corner to the gutter. There were 10 or more sharks cruising up and down the gutter and like yesterday they didn't seem too worried by us. We spent a good 20 minutes with the sharks.
We left the sharks and made our way slowly back to the mooring. On the way, Sheree spotted a juvenile bicolor angelfish. It was so cute. We then spent some time with some angry anemonefish and then did our safety stop on the mooring line.
