Diver's Notes

We saw a puffer fish staring at us, a stingray swimming away, lots of clownfish again. Also one solitary bat fish was swimming around. Two sandlizard fish were chasing away from a coral reef.

There was also a coral reef with a hole to swim through/underneath. Very cool, but very tight and as I was the last one to go through the visability was close to zero due to the sandy bottom.
