Diver's Notes

The current was very strong on this dive - almost too strong to be enjoyable. It was difficult to stop and look at anything. This may have been a good dive if not for the current - we saw many chromas, cow fish, a white spotted file fish, a scorpion fish, and an intermediate stage drum.
