Diver's Notes

Don't know how deep we went. Strong current. 3 divers drifted away before descending but manage to regroup underwater. Definitely a first to hold on to corals like it depended on my life.
More marine life in this area than yesterday. Lots of coral life, discovered christmas tree worms.
Some of us used air and were down to 30, which is kind of scary.
