Friday, Oct 15th: For my fifth and final dive (I was flying the next day and you need to leave around 24 hours between diving and flying) I requested to go somewhere where we might see a pufferfish. Apparently, Harry’s Bommie is just the place as there is a giant porcupine fish that lives right near the descent line.
And he was there as promised!
Later on I saw two more Desmonds! These ones were very shy and hid in a little cave.
Towards the end of the dive we saw a huggeeee turtle! Big enough that I had to wonder if I was too close!
Here are the rest of the shots:

In the afternoon my mom and I went out for a snorkel off the boat.
Had some fun bobbing in the big swells and just being pushed around by the current (weren’t too worried about where it took us since the boat was nearby). Felt like fish as we would be pushed forward and backwards with each swell.
