This dive was at Hol Chan which is a marine reserve. As soon as we hit the water we were only 10 ft deep to the floor. There was a large moray eel passing under me as soon as I went down. This was a shallow dive overall but the combination of corals and fish was amazing. We started heading out through the cut then crossed over the the other side and returned towards the boat. When we crossed over to return we noted that it would have been nice to go further... We come to find out later from the dive master that a couple people were lost due to the current a while back and they don't go out to far from where we were. This dive was great for marine life, lots of large grouper, nurse sharks, rays, large schools of fish. moray eels, and lobster. We went and snorkeled "Shark and Ray alley" (not allowed to dive it, marine park rules). There were a frenzy of nurse sharks and rays when we hit the water as the waters were being chummed. It was surreal as dozens of sharks and rays grazed by sometimes bumping into me. One ray came right at me and I had to hold him and push him away as he went for my camera...
