Notes du plongeur

This was supposed to be a shark watching adventure, but the visibility was so bad that we probably wouldn't have seen them coming if they did. It was like diving in a kelp forrest. A visible 10 degree thermocline waited for us on the bottom where we gathered to watch. After a few minutes, I became bored and started looking at the macro life on the reef. A few trumpet fish passed by and I corralled them back over to the group so they would have something to look at. I found a clam and a nudibranch and there were a few colorful fish. I split from the group with four others and we battled the current. Beyond a huge green turtle, there was nothing else to see.
