There were so many Blue-spotted Stingrays around. Either swimming or burried in the sand with just their eyes poking out.
The Leopard Sharks were there as well with up to 9 indiviudals seen on a single dive. They did not seem to be bothered by divers at all and circled around and around with remoras attached to them. Mainly girls.
A few bullrays, lots of fish including a large parrotfish, Sawtails, leatherjackets, many, many bullseyes, Tall-fin Batfish and goatfish everywhere. A poor Yellowtail Kingfish was seen with a very long fishing line through its mouth, out its gills with the lead and hook still attached
Turtles were out too as were the Eaglerays (one with a trailing Cobia) and some Cownose rays were spotted from the surface.
