Took Mia for a walk at 5:00 am this morning and the weather was good. Light wind. Warm air. I decided to go diving. Martha has not been cleared by her doctor to dive yet, so she stayed on the beach. I took the camera and the flag. Decided to go to the Jacks and to swim underwater to them.
I descended in about 8 feet of water and tried to hold a 100-degree bearing. I thought I was adjusting for the current, but when I got on the reef I surfaced to find I was almost to the Bahia Mar. I swam South over some larger rocks that seemed familiar to me and ended up on the Jacks just past the reef and in 25 feet of water.

| Rainbow Parrotfish (Scarus guacamaia) |
I took too many pictures of Rainbow Parrotfish and a Hogfish who paid little attention to me and allowed me to get close.

| Hogfish (Lachnolaimus maximus) |
 |
| Intermediate French Angelfish (Pomacanthus paru) |
 |
| Caribbean Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) |
 |
| Spotted Goatfish (Pseudupeneus maculatus) |
 |
| Red Grouper (Epinephelus morio) |
 |
| Southern Atlantic Stingray (Dasyatis americana) |
 |
| Bluestriped Grunt (Haemulon sciurus) |
I think this Bluestriped Grunt is looking for one of the smaller fish to clean the parasites from it's mouth. Looks funny.
Bottom time was 128 minutes at a maximum depth of 24.7 feet. My SAC was 14.98 psi/minute and the RMV was 0.39 cubic foot.
