Diver's Notes

Dove Electric Beach in the late afternoon. Entry was real easy. Pushed to the reef formation to the north in an attempt to locate a white tip; no such luck. The other dive groups in the area said they found it.

After exploring around the reef, proceeded to the power plant pipes. Snapped a couple pictures of the aquatic life, including two frog fish in the collapsed structure at the end of the pipes.

Made our way tot he reef to the south of the pipes to finish up the dive with an easy exit.
