Notes

Started the dive towards the south on the western side which is more flat at steady 25m with only modest ridges between the ridge and the sandy sea bed. We saw one flatworm and small moray but this side was more quiet. Slight counter current, but generally a chilled stroll with the divemaster and the twin set diver (forgot the name). The air is not the problem with 15l but as we agreed not to do deco and switched to the eastern side respecting NDL times. The eastern side was much more interesting with more rocks and crevices and sea bed going down to 28m - big moray, brotola, nice sized blue wrasse and a couple more flatworms. Had a camera since a long time ago, but had problems with the flash not firing and syncing - pretty sure I tested it on the previous night on manual 1 setting but it did not work. Later at the anchor I had a bit more time to test and it seemed to fire nicely with TTL setting - only one photo of a small scorpionfish.
