Dive report

Boat dive, buddied w/ Andy, American ex-lawyer, now runs a travel mag. Quick decent to 7m, then slower to 16.5 or so. Problems with new mask letting in water (needs to sit a bit higher on face). Spotted scorpion fish (big one) was highlight, but huge sea cucumber 2ft? also good. Giant barrel sponge, lovely ping branching vase sponges, too. Low on air (bit deep? mask probs?), so ascended early (with safety stop).

• Verified by Curtis Jackson (?), 158067.
