Diver's Notes

A fun dive! First we saw what I think was a red-spotted siphonophore, which Justin may have been stung by. The we saw a big cowfish. We followed him for most of the dive while he was feeding off sponges and coral. The, all of a sudden, he turned electric blue and swam off towards another cowfish that was also electric blue. The started doing some kind of dance. We had to leave them before they were finished.
