Diver's Notes

Very nice drift dive in a location rarely dove. It was named by Jerry Garcia. The spaceship is this very large rock that is below the surface. The drift dive was very relaxing. I saw a huge sea turtle putting down some coral, huge milkfish off in the distance, and some more eels. The coral is fantastic. It was like being on the moon. A very different topography than most.
