Tuna is on our mind this week, as we have made another visit to Ron’s point, where at around 30-40 meters deep, there is a shelf at which these giant silvery fish like to hang out. Unfortunately, it is becoming less and less common to pass large fish whilst diving as the demand for pelagic…
This week has been more than just ‘fun dives’ as we have been teaching people how to save lives in Lembeh by becoming PADI Rescue Divers.
