Diver's Notes

Entered El Cabrón from the "difficult" spot. We went north this time to see the gorgonians.

There was some noticeable current pushing us and so Dani decided to not go back to the entry spot, and instead surface further north, at Punta de la Sal.

Spotted a couple eagle rays, comb groupers (including a *huge* one), etc.

On the way up we spotted the BIGGEST STINGRAY EVER. The thing was easily as wide as I'm tall! :D
