Barracuda Point, Malaysia

Like the others on the last trip here. A spectactular dive! Brilliant Viz, loads of absolutely everything. Many white tips reef sharks – some agressive with one another. Giant frogfish. Colossal shoal of chevron barracuda – they blocked out the sun! WOW! Many green and hawksbill turtles and every reef species imaginable. Another great dive at barracuda point – but i’ve noticed that we only see the barracuda in the morning.
