More great photos! You can pretty much count on there being more current at Punta Tuniche than at other nearby reefs.

Thanks. We dove Yucab, which is near, on Monday before the hurricane and had almost no current. But generally Punta Tunich, Tormentos and Yucab (and Cedral Pass and Wall for that matter) can be counted on for current.

I identify this as lettuce coral. At first I thought some of it had been eaten but I saw polyps and proper ridges on the vertical sides.
