Comments The corals, hard and soft, were beautiful and healthy There were large schools of small reef fish, jacks, unicorn fish, barracuda. Lots of Napoleon wrasses, bump headed parrotfish, morays, octopi, tuna. Occasional turtles. the other group saw a school of hammerheads but I didn't. no other sharks. Some small critters. altogether beautiful diving. But I wonder what happened to the sharks.
The boat crew and dive guides were very helpful.
The boat itself , the Indo Aggressort was not at all what I expect from a modern luxury dive boat. the rooms were tiny with bunk beds. The meals very repetitive and not interesting. We paid a lot for this trip and the boat did not measure up to any of the modern dive boats I have been on. More like those from the 1980s.
