My first early morning dive and certainly not my last. We saw a school of barracuda. The highlight came at the start: my first shark, a whitetip reef shark. Only a small one, but very cool. We also saw an octopus changing colour and a gigantic pufferfish together with a large crocodilefish. The bluespotted stingray was lovely, but after that nothing else was a highlight.
