Exploring the Burma Banks – Dive Cruise with The Smiling Seahorse

It was our last trip of the season, trip number 5, and we went to explore the amazing Burma Banks!

With great people on board: Gabor and Nikki from Hungary; Michael from Australia; Jean-Marc, Marie-France, Michel and Olivia from Switzerland; Nicolas and Serge from Belgium; and Christophe, Valérie, Michel and Gilles from France!

We also had a new toy, as Julian brought his new drone and took some wonderful pictures of the dive sites. Have a look at North Twin…

Black Rock was invaded by a massive school of trevallies. Diving in the middle of them was just unbelievable!
