| Remarks |
This was a before breakfast dive. I enjoyed it. When IK woke up I was pretty energetic, running around like a little puppy because I knew we were about to do some nice dives.
The viz was incredible. Looking over the side of the boat you could see the bottom (around 50 feet). The water was nice, cool and extreamly clear.
I started the dive by going to the local wall. This wall drops off to over 3,000 feet (or so I'm told). It was neat going over to it and hovering at the edge looking down. The sunlight gave a neat little effect falling off to depths beyond my reach.
After the wall I went around to explore the coral upshots. The coral here is spectacular. The colors are vibrant reds, blues and greens and the site was lush with the coral animals.
The fish we saw were pretty, but I don't know what most of them were. The ones I did recognize were some parrots, a puffer or two and some clown fish swimming around their soft coral home.
