Diver's Notes

Second of two Vandenberg dives today. We explored the bow of the wreck in this dive. We saw some jacks and a black grouper. There were hundreds or thousands of yellow tail snappers around the bow. We got to swim through the wreck again. While surfacing, I saw a Portuguese Man of War holding a fish.
