Jasmijn did better spotting this reef shark. Reef sharks are even rarer than sea turtles. Sharks dangerous to people are extremely rare.
Best of all, the pontoon is a major dive platform, with several dive instructors taking both beginners and experienced dives on tours of the reef. Here, Jasmijn is about to go on an introductory dive. She went to 11 m down. We both did two dives.
Divers follow a series of guide ropes initially. Here, a chain anchoring the pontoon to the reef has become colonised by coral. The pontoon arrived 17 years ago.
