Comments	Wonderful week of diving from a Turkish gullet style liveaboard in Gulf of Tadjoura. Whale Shark ID program; spotted several new whale sharks. Also 12 SCUBA dives on reefs and La Faille (the crack) between 2 tectonic plates in Lake Ghoubet. This year it's 12/6-12/14/2019 for $2200. Contact Dr. Jennifer Schmidt at jennifer@sharks.org.
