This dive was nothing short of a heartbreaking experience. The fishers dispersed as soon as we approached the rock, mysteriously ducking their little boats behind any island they could find. We suited up and dived down into a complete holocaust, nets draping the rock everywhere. The reef was freshly dynamited, the ghost white remains of fish littering the sea floor. Every place where there should have been sand, there was death. Only small fish remained, plus a few eels and lobster. This was also my first dive at the helm of the group, navigating/leading.
