As far as creatures (non-fish), they also regularly see matis shrimp and slippe lobster. There is also a very interesting macro life, with many shrimps, crabs, blennies, gobies, nudibranchs and worms. Night dives also offer a different set with all the crustaceans out in the open, octopus, squid and even bioluminescence!

Sit down with them, consult the fish book and they will help you identify what you saw on your dives. They also have a large flat-screen TV in the shop where they regularly display slideshows of the things they have seen recently, video footage from dives and training experience.
