Small reef 30 minutes from Ellaidohoo, next to Kandolhudoo resort. Nice shallow reef, lots of fish & nudibranchs. Tried to use less air - maybe use 15l next time (but still first out!). Better than 1st dive. Very small glass fish, quite a few crown-of-thorns. Also unicorn fish, & lots of baby fish, especially blue trigger fish. Clown fish in very large anemones, several spotted groupers, & black spotted puffer.
