Notes and Highlights: Dove with Josh and Blake (nice to meet you) - easy in with small surf - and we dropped down pretty quickly in shallow water over sand - looking for bat rays...didn't take long. We spent the first several minutes moving slowly over the sand...finding bat rays by the dozen (see the clip). Blake also found a horn shark early in the dive which we chased around on the sand for a while (pic and video clip below)...
We went further out - still not very far or deep - but where the reef structure begins. Spent quite a bit of time trying to get a picture of the first rock pool blennies I've seen. Two were sharing a hole in the reef - one much smaller than the other...but even the biggest was barely 2 inches long. Surge and a dive-long fight with buoyancy made shooting the little buggers difficult - the result:
