Remarks:Dugong search dive!

In a group of eight, we patrolled the seagrass field to find the (only) dugong. Our luck served us well, as we found it!

We chilled with it for 20 minutes, watching it slobbering the sea floor and graciously going up for air (between a hurde of snorkeling people) every now and then.

Besides the dugong, there were a lot of big turtles as well.
