Martha and I got up a little later this morning. We got to the parking lot behind Tower 4 about 7:20 am, geared up and got in the water about 7:40 and swam to the buoy line to descend at 7:50 am.
Martha spotted a little Nurse Shark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) under the ledge near the blocks and I got some pictures.
I also found a Juvenile Highhat (Pareques acuminatus) in the tire on the Rock Line.
Made a pleasant and slow swim through the Wrap Around Ledge and over the rubble past the Giant Barrel Sponges to the Staghorn Coral. Saw lots of Grunts and some Jacks on the way by, below.
From the Staghorn Coral, we swam East to the Sectioned Rock and then turned north to follow the Swiss Cheese Reef.
Got this shot of a Striped Parrotfish (Scarus iserti).
and this picture of a Lane Snapper (Lutjanus synagris)
We went East past the end of the reef, then headed South along a sandy pathway just East of the Reef. Turned West a little early, but found the Sectioned Rock and the Staghorn Coral
I got this shot of a Cero (Scomberomorus regalis).
and this shsot of a Yellow Jack (Caranx bartholomaei).
Also spotted a Red Lionfish in the rumble on the way to the Rock Line sand flat.
Killed some time at the Wrap Around Ledge but then swam West and surfaced inside the buoy line.
Dive Time was 125 minutes at a maximum depth of 18.7 feet. My A/C was 21.44 psi/minute; my SAC was 14.74 psi/minute and the RMV was .38 cubic feet per minute.
