Description of the day’s events:
La Reina is the best site this time of year because it is nearly guaranteed to have the best visibility around. We did two excellent dives going around the little rock and the second and third seamount. There were loads of fish everywhere but less than I expected. Suwannee was great today with big schools of spot tail grunts, king angel fish and sergeant majors.
