Last dive of the day. It was quite late as we had moved a few hours north.
Shiriniat / Ashelaniat is know by many many names. I have been here many times before.
Zodiac took us to the norht end as boat was moored to south side. Supposedly there would have been current from north to south, but there was nothing. After dropping from the zodiack, we dived slowly towards the boat, visiting all the bays.
Visibility was getting a little worse, but was still in the 20 meter range.
Not that much fish, I have seen more here before, and the corals looked faded, soft corals scarce.
Not night dive offered.

We moved here for the dinner and overnight stay:
