Went with Normal on shallow dive. Water entered regulator while descending - Normal checked valves, but didnt' fix the problem. Switched to secondary and discovered the mouthpiece on first was cracked. Continued dive, but realized a heavy regulator gets tiring.
Observed large orange frogfish (camera was out of batteries), tiny moray, various shrimp, and stonefish.
