I'm a Fish!
We splashed about 8:30am, was told that the outgoing current was lite and the temp was 75 degrees. Our first dive was just as described. Had a great dive for a refresher. My dive buddy had not been diving in quite some time and we stayed above 35'. His ears took a little while to equalize but all in all a great 63 minute dive. Our sights included a few puffers, cowfish, spiny lobster and a awesome hogfish! Our second dive after a hr surface interval was great until we hit the 40' mark, the current had picked up considerably. It was still outgoing but was rushing by. Viz was poor with lots of silt, we decided to head back up the rocks and cross over into the kiddie pool. It was surging and rushing even somewhat there too but was doable. We lasted 27minutes at 45' then went to the kiddie pool for another 30 minutes. We had a great time and look forward to more dives in the future. Jec
 
I saw probably the same hog fish last week along with quite a few healthy size gag grouper.
