Diver's Notes

We entered at the rightmost end of the site ans swam right so it may not technically be Windsock. We started and ended at the fuel dock. We saw a white spotted file fish, trumpet fish, trunk fish, and a giant drum fish! We also swam through a school of silversides which was really neat. At the very end of the dive there were many parrotfish grazing on the coral rubble in the shallows.
