Diver's Notes

Pickering's Place, West Caicos (TOP SECRET LOCATION)

Fun Dive 25

- Saw Barnacle Bill, a giant hawksbill turtle with a barnacle on his back. Apparently this site is his home.

- First macro lens usage with my new combo macro/red filter - not bad!
- Had 1000 psi remaining in tank at the end of the dive.
