Diver's Notes

This was the best dive of the trip. The reef structure was really cool with finger-like projections. The life on the reef was similar to Tolo (Ol' Blue). Kevin found a huge fireworm crawling across some brain coral. I saw a lizard fish and seven lettuce sea slugs. There was a turtle and several scrawled file fish in the shallows. There was also a tiny file fish during our safety stop.
