Diver's Notes

Went out with Joshua, Diane, and Maykel on Aquatic Explorers to do some shallow dives. Went down to the Patricia and saw an abundance of fish. Tried to spear a jack, a Majorra, and some hog but kept missing. I'm blaming the new spear tip ;) It was a fun dive, saw two nurse sharks. One was asleep on the bottom of the rock pile next to the wreck, and the other was swimming along the bottom. Very cool.
