Diver's Notes

Beautiful quiet dive, big groupers, not so easy to picture (deeper, less light and one flash was not strong enough).

We went to the "cathedral" side of the spot, huge cave but not "exceptional", made a nice nudibranch shot - those definitely require a 100mm as I was almost the dome against the nudi !

After the dive, 1400m swim in various styles
