Because of the later entry, I knew the sun was going to be at a great angle for shooting wide angle, but I couldn't have predicted the incredible viz. We had as much viz as we could ask for and we swam over the edge, down the slope and then pretty much stayed there. The nudis were EVERYWHERE. Piles of C. verrucosa scattered between all sizes and colors of F. verrillis. My buddy pointed me to a giant Dendronotus frondosus, which was great to see for the first time in awhile. I didn't end up pulling my strobes far enough back for virtually any of my shots, but I was able to edit some nice ones. The water was very chilly, but the mild air temps and glow from an awesome dive warmed us up quickly.
