Unlike the other dives on this trip the boat was some way off of the big islands when we moored the boat up.

The brief for the dive did not come across as anything special, maximum depth of 20 metres, a rocky ridge and some large rocks.  Unlike the first three dives, no caves or swim throughs.   So Tim and I jump in and set off down the shot line.

The vis  is about 8 metres at the sea bed and we set off to find the rocky ridge.  Once there turn left and as we swim along we come across some goat fish feeding on a patch of sand.  As we get to the end of the rocky ridge all we have seen are a lot of small fish and some nice looking soft corals,  then off to our left there is a rock with a large hole though it and in the hole is the tail of a big grouper.  I signal to Tim for us to swim around the rock to see it face on. Tim thinks I am going around there  to chase it back out to him so he stayed where he was.  When I saw this fish face on,  you just knew not to mess with it, the biggest grouper I have ever seen. 

The next think we came across was a large clam, of a type I had never seen before,  then the biggest scorpion fish I have ever seen.  And just when we think we have seen all that there is to see,  we find the tail of a very large moray eel sticking out between some rocks.  You could not see the head, just the tail, so I stroked it and the biggest eel shot out and vanished into some more rocks.

All the dives were first class but something about this one was special for me.
