Notes
This was a very short dive, Mark has never dove Troy's, but we were short on time. When checking the anchors I noticed that by the time I got into the water the boat had floated of the Coral head and we were adrift in the lagoon. All I saw was to anchors hanging in about 20 or 30 feet of water. We pulled up anchors and found the Coral head again and started the dive again. It’s so important to check the anchors. We floated pretty far away from the coral head in a very short time frame. We saw lots of Sharks, some were very close to us only about 10-12' away. It was a 6-8' white tip reef shark. I always forget to bring my knife, maybe next time I remember it. The dive was very short, too short in fact, but as Marks says "At least we got wet"
