Diver's Notes

Night dive to the wreck (La Machaca) and a bit beyond; past Captain Don's mooring line and the flag memorial to him. Not many fish on the way there that were not hiding in teh coral. Tarpons met us at the wreck and stayed with us until we got out of the water. Got back to the start point early, so spent ~20 mins pretty much stationary, watching the Tarpons chase our lights and the fish they stirred up. Got chilled from staying still so long and not generating heat. Probably wear 3mm later in the days if we're going to do this again.
