Alimatha night dive is always great to see more than a fifty nurse sharks swim over our head, swimming through divers, stingrays looking for food right in front of divers. It was totally amazing

Fottheyo – Vattaru kandu – Divers paradise
Fottheyo early morning dive was a success, we were in the blue looking for hammer heads for 20 minutes, there were glittering planktons in the blue, no hammer head shark yet so we came and drifted along the reef, there were few grey reef sharks and big tunas, one eagle ray. And at the very end of the dive a great hammer head shark came out of the channel swam fast into the blue.
