Comments Down at 27 m in strong current and if had given up. Let lose, still hook in mouth had to cut the line to let it loos. 25 m later on 12 m it swam by us less then 0.5 m away looking into our eyes totally relax and looked like a thank you.

Tourism and fishing in the wrong place with the wrong equipment


20 dives from 1.8-19.9.23, guided dives with guest and pick up what ever i came by. Some dive we were two with a bottle but mostly only one guide picking 1.5-2.5 kg on average per dive.
