Remarks:Fifth and last AOWD dive: Night dive!

Very good night dive with the German instructor Ann, Gijs and Francois. I was much more confident than with the previous night dive in Egypt (better torch, instructor...). A couple minutes after descending we were escorted by batfish. We saw three nurse sharks resting in their home caves, a sleeping turtle, some moray eels displaying their full length, some nice groupers (one with a freshly caught red fang triggerfish in its mouth!). Of course we also spotted the lobsters. Also a walking lionfish, and after turning off the torches we withnessed the effect of the phytoplankton!

Very nice dive!
