First, let me say, Cpt Raelyn is the best. Former Coast Guard. Friendly and an excellent navigator.
Dove 6 dives (Sat and Sunday) with Rainbow Reef. Always friendly staff. They let us dive our own dives for 5 of 6 dives (1 hr max). On the drift dive they pulled us up together at 40 minutes (!). Because we did not dive the wrecks, we dove the usual spots 65ft max to 29 ft. Ripping current kept divers off the wrecks.
Great viz (about 80ft). Water temperature was a scary 86F. Pretty hot. Yikes. I am worried about our coral.
Nothing too exciting other than a female Darkheaded Blenny (teeny—1/2 inch). Lots of lettuce sea slugs, nice sea fans, big schools of reef fish, lobster, Goldentail Moray, Roughheaded Blennies, Yellow headed jawfish, a few green turtles, massive baraccuda, schools of big Midnight Parrotfish, tons of Bicolor Damselfish.
