Diver's Notes

Advanced Open Water dive #2--Naturalist. This was my second time back to Friday's Rock. I identified sailor's eyeball and grape weed; barrel sponges, sea squirts, featherstars and sea cucumbers; gobies, puffers, blennies a giant trigger and my first shark. The shark was found by Jade. Joe gave me his flashlight so I could see him hiding under the coral.
