Diver's Notes

Drop #2 on The Corridor wrecks put us right on the Amaryllis. Visibility was decent, but the temperature was all over the place. The current died down significantly so we finned southward. As Jim and I approached the Mizpah, we saw a dozen goliaths congregated outside the wreck. We swam over the wreck and came across a loggerhead and a green turtle. Niether of them was camera shy. Running low on air, we called it quits and ascended.
