First dive on the north point, where our divers could see a school of 40ish hammerheads, Some sea lions A couple of octopuses a school of snappers and other reef fishes. When divers came up to the RHIB, they said they were hearing dolphins close but they couldnยดt see them. I was on the RHIB but I didnยดt see any dolphins nearby at surface.
Second dive same as amazing as the first one, this dive was on the South West point, they started on the south wall and they dove to the southwest point there a pinacle at 60 ft depth, they saw again a school of 40 hammerheads, they also saw lot of reef fishes and l0 different types of eels.
