Diver's Notes

Very nice and long dive. Record dive time. Big jack fish, large porcupine fish, Octopuses etc. lots to see. Discovered a Giant Basket Star coiled up on a piece of coral. Took pictures.
look at the unwrapped version on Ocean today of NOAA.

and another link for the shrimp that lives apparently solely on the Basket Star, but not on this one?
