Diver's Notes

CHECK OFF THE BOX!

THE BLUE HOLE

Some anxiety before entering the water, and as we descended the wall. Had to make certain to add air to the BCD to avoid an uncontrolled descent. At about 100', the wall opened to reveal stalactite and stalagmite formations. Swam through and between these. Inside the hole were 15 reef sharks. Slow ascent to the surface.
