An enormous grouper, 2 turtles. Second time at this site - right next to Andy's Reef -. Mom left after 15 minutes. Too bad; decent dive anyways though visibility not great. No sharks. Never got to sandy flats. |

Descent to vast stag-horn coral bed, then to sandy area ~20m depth. At around 30m depth, solitary white-tip shark (~1meter length). Problems starting the dive too late (too many people!), but a nice dive anyway. |

Incredible dive! Mystical experience at one point - looked over and saw Dad - totally surreal. Awesome - underwater cave at ~15 meters. (Later note) - suspect serious case of narcosis on this dive given my profile. Well worth it though! |

East wall = left wall from beach chute. Vertical wall ~ 60 meters. Incredible fish and coral! -- Attacked by trigger fish while snorkeling to the boat. Passed over its breeding ground. A little disconcerting. |
