Notes
This dive didn't have much in the way of large animals. There were lots of cool small fish and some Queen Angelfish. There were also two very nice swimthroughs.

The wall was very nice and the coral was in really good shape but relatively few fish. There was one very large and friendly Snapper that hung around our group for a while. We also saw one large Crab. We also saw a Stingray in the sand as we ascended to our safety stop.

Lily slipped and fell off the boat as she was getting out of the water. She smacked her light against the boat and broke it.

I don't know how this Crab managed to fit in that tiny hole.
