I was worried about the impact of the typhoon, but the weather was good during the two days of diving and I was very happy to see manta rays. Next time, I would like to dive at a different point.
We were able to see manta rays and many fish at many points close to the port. The young staff were all very kind and helpful. Thank you very much.
