Comments: First dive was off the backside of Jun Island, on a corner we hadn't dived before, and a very beautiful corner on Jun Island, called Jun today, and not Jed as before. I don't recall particularly interesting fish, but the family did well diving together. Glenn went in without wetsuit and got cold but his air was fine and he didn't complain, so ma'alesh. Dusty also had great consumption, competing well with Mom and Dad. Dusty was a little fish.
We saw a honeycomb moray. I recall a nice cuttlefish at the end of a dive, sitting on a rock and not moving off as we meandered past. There was a very pretty fish with blue, yellow, white, black swirls near a lion fish

Comments:
Saw a small ray at depth and chased it into the gloam, made it circle back. We ended dive in a school of small squid, which the boys enjoyed, though Mom and Dad surfaced early at this dive, after only half an hour, by which time I had seen only one of them. I was using the reg set with the duff spg and the main reg on it was breathing too well, and I went up with 60 bar, Mom and 40. We left the boys to play among the squid and be on their own for another 15 min.
