What a difference a couple of days can make! How many times have I said that?

It was like being in a wonderfully warm pool, but with yellowhead jawfish, an intermediate and an adult batfish, many french and gray angelfish juveniles and intermediates, and an octopus, besides all the other regulars. We actually started our predive briefing standing on the seawall where we saw a small spotted eagle ray. That was before we entered the water! Summer conditions are back! Get in the water, Ham
