This was a gentle cruise around an urchin-covered ledge where many eels poked their heads out from tiny crevices. Two turtles swam in slow circles around the descent line at the start of the dive. I also spotted a tiny leaf scorpionfish, a enormous queen conch, and the pivoting eyes of a mantis shrimp hidden in its hole.

Lots of slender cornetfish in this area.
