Ascended slightly too fast at one point, hence "slow" warning message on dive computer. This was due to trying to relocate my camera which had floated up behind me. The ascent was brief and control was quickly regained.

Also saw:
Hawksbill Turtles
Banded Box Shrimp
Peacock Mantis Shrimp
Box Fish
Bearded Scorpionfish
Flounder
Tomato Clownfish
Lionfish
Marbled Octopus x 2 (possibly mating)
