Notes
Unlike the previous dive, this site had tons of fish. Saw a Spotted Moray Eel, a very large Crab, lots of small Snarpnose Puffer, Arrow Crabs, various Gobies, etc.

There was little current, so we comfortably swam around and took our time looking at the smaller animals inhabiting the reef. One of the cooler things our divemaster showed us was a tiny Flounder hardly bigger than a quarter.

Used the Nikonos with a 1/125th shutter speed and an fstop of 4.

I'm told this is a Tiger Tail, a type of Sea Cucumber. It doesn't move much, but when the divemaster touched it, it seemed to shrink a little bit.

I guess that no loitering law doesn't apply here. Plenty of Schoolmasters and Grunts hanging around this reef.
Viewed: 51 times.

The Stoplight Parrotfish just doesn't look quite as good with the colors.

A Black Durgon, and yet another reason to get that strobe.

I liked to watch these little fish dart in and out of their home, a discarded Conch shell.
