Notes du plongeur

Awesome Sunset, storm gathering with great colors. Very flat water upon entry.
HighLights: Saw 2 big rays on the descent, several urchins, big turtle, 3 octopi, crabs galore, lobsters, huge Hermit crab in a large conch shell - like 1-2 feet. Hogfish, splendid toad in case, jack fish, angelfish - beautiful blue, a mixed current, bioluminescent plankton - turned off lights, sea lice at the safety stop.
Training: Advanced Night
