Diver's Notes

This was our first dive after taking the day off yesterday due to the storm surge from hurricane Matthew. The entrance was a bit difficult with a little cliff to climb down but one in, the visibility wasn't as bad as expected after the storm surge. The current changed direction part way through the dive so we were swimming back against the current. I saw a white spotted file fish, a barracuda, and a puffer. I accidentally smacked some fire coral in the shallows which looking for Kevin.
