Description of dive:

Second dive on Coral Garden (23 meters) with 3/4 meters eyeshot was less entertaining. We did find a jaw fish wandering free looking bloated. We found another fish, a large one, lying flat like a flounder, an escapee from a fishhook or worse, and he flapped off horizontally in a surge of reflex. Toward the end of the dive, tucked in the rocks on Sharq Island, we found a ray.
