Diver's Notes

Dive went well overall. Saw a huge puffer fish, fat barracuda, a reticulate cowfish, rainbow parrotfish, and some really nice angelfish. Ran North along the second reef (past Anglin pier), then back south on this dive. Finished the die over the fist reef. At 19 lbs, I was close to neutral, but was finning down a little when my tank was near empty. Next dive I'll go back to 20, or maybe 21, pounds.
