Notes
Shore dive from in front of the La Ceiba Hotel. We didn't want to go do a full blown two-tank boat dive.

We saw tons of fish, mostly hanging around the sunken plane. Saw a cool Filefish and Queen Trigger. Also saw a huge Bearded Fireworm on some coral. I got bit on my right hand by a Damsel. I guess I got too close to its territory.

Cut dive short because Lily's mask kept flooding.

A couple Threespot Damselfish at different stages of development patrol a coral outcrop. The darker one is similar to the one that bit me.
