Diver's Notes

This dive had really poor visibility but seemed like it probably would have been my favorite so far. The reef structure here was the most interesting, a double reef with pillars to swim around. We saw a spotted eagle ray, a very large schoolmaster snapper, and a peacock flounder. This was the first real test of our navigational skills; we had to use our compass. We may want to do the navigation specialty course.
