Diver's Notes

Second dive in the reef of El Cabrón. Instead of exploring the reef walls, we went further ahead until an abandoned fishing net hosting a small sea horse. Afterwards we explored the upper part of the reef to avoid the decompression limits.

The profile is not accurate as half the dive was spent above 12m.
