Diver's Notes

Justin's tank was very low on air to begin with - he left a bit early and Kevin and I hung out around our exit point for awhile. This was a great dive - lots of live and interesting reef structure. We saw a spotted eagle ray, a tiny filefish, a tarpon, a turtle, and a drum. After Justin left, Kevin chased a pufferfish around with the camera and we saw a huge midnight parrotfish.
