Notes:  Jenny suggested Santa Rosa as second dive today, it was an excellent idea, the sun light right on the wall, two turtles were eating together, then after the swim through, two toadfish were together, towards the end Will saw the spotted eel, pictures, smiles, we all enjoyed this dive.

Dive Three

Site: Yucab Reef
Max Depth: 50 feet
Dive Time: 50 minutes
Key Animals: Caribbean octopus, Green turtle, Squid, String of Pearls
Visibility: Torch light
Notes:  We started the dive with just a bit of sunlight, 5 minutes into the dive and it was dark. Soon the octopus starts crawling, changing color, that is cool, an green turtle was seating on the coral quiet and waiting for us. Later the squids in mid-water, also we turn the lights off for a minute, it was really nice when we turned the lights off to see the plankton glowing!

Chelonia mydas, but more commonly know by the name of a Green Sea Turtle. This one always hangs around the boats near Colombia Reef.
