This dive is south of Playa Del Carmen via speed boat. Some young fish - large school against part of the coral. Turtle was feeding in the sea grass. First live turtle for me. We did a rollback entry - my first. The water was warm, visibility great. No real problem with clearing. This is a drift dive with a light to moderate current. Tamara's regulator was honking away for a while.
