Durban dancing shrimps.
Today visibility was quite bad at Koh Dok Mai. There is anyway quite much marine life. Moray eels, nudibranches, Fan corals, banded boxer shrimp, Durban dancing shrimps, reef fishes. Today was also first time when I dived with Sea Bees Diving. Everything worked very well. Also nice and big boat.
