During the night there were some small fishing boats stationary in the south and southwest area outside the ZTA. Early in the morning a group of divers started arriving at the ZTA but left before 9:00, probably due to the unexpected strong wind and swell.
Then around the 23:00 another boat was confirmed stationary in the S zone of the VR.
