| Intermediate Gray Angelfish (Pomacanthus arcuatus) |
The weather forecast was not particularly encouraging, but Martha and I wanted to dive so we headed to Tower 4 and the Swiss Cheese Reef. We got to the beach at 7:05 am and were swimming out to the buoy by 7:20 am. We descended at 7:33 am.

| Yellowfin Mojarra (Gerres cinereus) |
Spent some time getting photographs along the Wrap Around Ledge then went over the Ledge and across the rubble to the Rock Line. Turned to the North at the Rock line and swam to the Tire where we turned East and swam across the sand flat to the Crescent Moon Rock. From there we continued East onto the next bit of rubble and then traveled NE past some Giant Barrel Sponges and then the Staghorn Coral.

We headed due East to the Sectioned Rock and then turned North to swim along the Swiss Cheese Reef.
