Details

Dive with The Dive Academy. Shark Island is just off Koh Tao and includes a number of pinnacles.

Diver Dan lead us along the reef and then we returned. There was a bit more life on this dive with an extra species of butterflyfish. Sheree drifted into the territory of a nesting pair of titan triggerfish and one of them went for her. It was a little scary.

This dive was a little longer but still way too short.
