Started the dive dropping on the north wall, shooting video and photos of the amazing wall covered by the red gorgonias. Circled clockwise against the moderate current to more bare southern face. Schools of damselfish and anthias covered the walls joined with occasional sargos, mojarras and few lonely doradas. Big morenas hiding on their coves and few smaller ones in the open, covered only by the gorgonians. Pair of huge imperial sargos suprised at later on the top. Around 20-15m the occasional Astroides calycularis colonies covering the rocks. Some lonely barracudas. Did not venture far to the western parts, circled around the next peak, but returned same way ascending, avoiding the currents which was strong at the top. Hang on the rock for a while observing the bigger schools of barracudas circling the top, though hard to get decent videos operating it with one hand in the current.
