Diver's Notes

This was the second dive at Bahia Tortuga.

And this was a MUCH better dive than this morning!

First of all, the swell was way less than in the morning.
We saw:
- Snake eel
- Grouper
- Spiny spider crab
- Cardinalfish
- Scorpionfishes
- Trumpetfish
- Damselfish
- Atlantic Lizardfish
- Flounders
- White seastar
And we saw 4 BIG stingrays laying together in sort of a cave! It was so awesome to see those! I think they were round stingrays or black stingrays. And later on, we saw a smaller stingray swiming.

This was an incredible dive (because of the stingrays, of course!)

I was alone with the dive guide.
