As promised here is the video of the dive, for all of you Open Water certified, they have an 11 AM and a 15:00 45 min dive with max 10 people, I have been diving for more than 20 years and this was one of the most rewarding dive experiences ever, the sheer biomass and variety and it almost feels natural (on the edges where rocks and things are) but yeah we have sharks, whale sharks , mantas, groupes, lookdowns, batfish etc etc all over the place, and as they are well fed and now 'accustomed' to the dive tours (they are very strict as to what you can and can't do btw) and last but not lest going in front of the gallery window is kind of fun too

Btw, this was the best experience ever, my favorite aquarium, if you can call it that is the open water 'aquarium' at bundang (they literally put a 'net' of sorts around a single coral island and are feeding, monitoring just about everything , it is in Koh Samui (Thailand) right off the kost on the north side, not well known and again only accessible for people that really ask for it...it is more a research facility but they are welcoming of well educated folks (you know like not stepping on coral kind of folk )

If you guys are doing cenote or reef diving as a group plese PM me , I want to take my son on some dives this year and want to start of with The Keys, Bahamas, Cenotes, (work it up to going to the 'sleeping' sharks), the Shalmashir (egypt), Hurgada (egypt) and then do the big jump to Islas Marias (Mexico) - White shark diving, and the finally (budget permitting ) the great barrie reef (at least to the nort and east side ) so yeah quite the list, will probably go broke before i can finish it all hahahah
