TUGBOAT ROZI

Still quite warm water due to exceptional warm weather in December. Bigger groupers, now that Rangers keep an eye on illegal fishing. Good.

Nice relaxing dive, still in wetsuit. Does get somewhat cold after 40min. Moray on Rozi, Octopus on reef, many fish on reef.

Loads of fish following towards and on Rozi, even groupers. Many Scorpion fish on reef and Rozi. Nice rarely seen Fork Beard in hold. Great

As usual, nice relaxing dive. Temps are rising, thermocline around 20 meters. Bit of milky algae/plankton bloom, not too bad.

Hele mooie duikstek, super zicht! Op de terugweg nog een paar mooie rotsformaties en tunnels gepasseerd, veel jonge vis, heerlijk gedoken!

Ondiep uitgezwommen en daarna afgedaald naar het wrak. Veel vissen en wat kleine nudibranch.

Chris guiding. Nice dive in fair water. A bit milky though. Not a lot of life yet on the Rozi.
