a huge gogonia down at 35 meters




There's just sooo many of them. Everywhere around.

Lion fish - poisonous

a tuna in the distance



A long, nice lunch break after an adventurous dive (seems the whole group stayed a little too long at depth)

scratching an itch

tea time

A nice and slow surface dive in the afternoon, lots of pretty corals bathing in sunlight.
