About The Dive: We started from the shallow reef where we spotted a big sea crate on the hunt for food.
Continuing along the deeper part a big black frogfish was sitting on a black soft coral.
From the shallow reef a hawksbill turtle glided in front of us towards the deep sandy patches, soon after another one was drifting with us for about 10 minutes.
Towards the end of the dive a juvenile sea crate was curious about a peacock mantis shrimp while another turtle cruised by just before our safety stop.
Great dive with great divers!

About The Dive: I guided Emmanuele, a certified diver this morning to Balinghai. Balinghai is a wall dive and often a drift dive. The beginning of the dive is a shallow plateau at 10 metres. Then we reach the wall. The wall go down to 25 metres. We stayed above 18 meters to follow open water diver standard.
Lots of beautiful hard and soft corals to see on this dive as well as sponge barrels. The reef is home of a huge variety of fish like clown fish, trumpet fish, reef grouper, hawksbill and green turtle. We actually saw a young hawksbill turtle that we followed for a few minutes.
Overall, it was a very relaxing gentle drift dive.
