Wow…it stayed pretty calm with all those people around.
Surprisingly so! There were 3 of us jockeying for position as it cruised along the reef...unique experience for sure
Splendid Vid.
Thanks very much for watching - glad you enjoyed it!
@@deirdreforbesmccracken4620 You are welcome.
wow there are so many fish must have been cool to see
It was a truly memorable dive and a promising reminder that marine protected areas can allow threatened species to thrive:) 🐟🐟🐟
Did this guy follow the same route and kind of do laps in a sense? I thought it looked that way in the footage.
