Comments

Dive three: Elba III Tahtani north plateau and west wall, with no current at all, had another excursion amongst the gorgeous fans and soft corals of the plateau, with schooling surgeonfish and fusiliers all around and above it, then the west wall was completely gorgeous as well, with lots of soft corals and black coral bushes and some large fans. Lots of anthias and many fusiliers streaming in. Also sightings of white tip reef sharks, and very spectacular and very large black spotted stingray floating past at our level, close to the reef, with an extremely long tail of at least 3 meters, really amazing! Also large free-swimming moray eel.
