Hello all, been a long time since I posted. Here's some pics from a trip I organised to Dakar with my buddy during April of this year. We went for 10 days in total and dived 9 of them. We had an incredible time, I'd been dreaming about this sort of trip for years and years and finally did it.

We booked through this website here and everything went perfectly smoothly -- http://fabien.romano2.free.fr/index_027.htm

We dived mostly on wrecks (there are hundreds of them) and were astounded by the richness of the waters, probably in part due to the fact that trawling in any manner or form is prohibited in the area.

Our guide was extremely competent and knew the waters extremely well. The accomodation was very basic but comfortable and best of all, we caught a load of fish

Fantastic! Funny how they ban trawlers and suddenly there's life everywhere eh? Looks like a great trip and I'm envious!
