Comments Most of the divers were very experienced and could handle the currents but a few were not that experienced and it was tough on them. Should be forwarned the currents are not for the inexperienced.
Greatest number of fish I have ever seen. It was crowded down there. I jested that we could see more if there weren't so many fish in the way.
I would go again in a minute. Side trips from there, India, Sri Lanka, Emerates. One in our group is planing to move there and start a dive operation with one of our divemasters. This place is a wonderment.
