Paul's Reef, July 2016.

Greetings from Paul's Reef!

Learn to explore the deep with Neptune Dive & Ski!

Paul's Reef, teeming with tropicals!

This guy thinks he was hiding at Ron's Rock.

Sometimes, Group 2 and Group 1 cross over.

Greetings from Ron's Rock.

Ron's Rock is better than an aquarium.

The Awesome Finch, unknowingly competing with LT and Frank for best (?) dressed diver. Can't miss this Group 2 guide.

Smiling Moray Eel at Captain Curl's.

The Man (from Group 2) at Captain Curl's, with an awesome video light for the GoPro. Overall, Group 1 moved pretty slowly on the reefs, and Group 2 just sped along, so the 2 groups intersected (and sometimes exchanged group members) a lot.

Checking out a hole on Captain Curl's.

What's Jean (from Group 2) pointing at? I don't see anything. But, Jean NEVER points unless there's something there.

Oh. THAT's what Jean's pointing at!

Captain Curl's.

Captain Curl's. Pretty, even if it's not a wreck.

Greg at Captain Curl's.

Nearing the end of the dive at Captain Curl's, and starting a slow ascent over the reef. Then, there's THIS on the bottom. He thinks he's hiding. Decisions...decisions. Enough bottom time to go down to 80 fsw? Check. Enough air left? Check. Is buddy OK? Check.

Closeup. Better get back on the ascent.

A great safety stop at Captain Curl's.
