Diver's Notes

First dive of this trip. I left my boots at home and had to borrow some from the shop. We saw a giant queen angel, an old-man looking big puffer fish, a group of scrawled file fish grazing on some sponges, a spotted moray, white spotted file fish, and one lion fish. Lot's of life but the reef wasn't that interesting.
