Total number of different pangas fishing today in the ZTA: 0.
Today was another day with plenty of divers in the ZTA. They started to arrive between 6:00 and 7:00, and by 9:00 there were around 20 diver pangas in the center of the ZTA. Some also stopped in northern areas, which we went to check at 11:00. During the morning there were also around 13 pangas that crossed the area heading northeast; at least two of them with fishing gear on board. Most of the diving pangas stayed in the ZTA for at least 6 hours. At around 15:00 we started to experience some bad weather, that increased during the evening.
