Diver's Notes

Took my camera on the boat and figured the battery was dead so i left it on the boat while i was diving.
The Seals were very playful. Derek took a great video where a seal bumped it nose on to his camera. We swam up the reef wall on the right there was a canny current so we turned around I caught big Lobby which was hiding under a rock ... Not for long! Lots of large red crabs. Very good dive.
