Comments and Feedback
Conditions this day were not good. Vis was terrible and waves high, but I did it because it was in conjunction with a local civic group for a video they are putting together. Video of Entire dive here: https://youtu.be/eNHUaWhYudk Video of fish release here: https://youtu.be/7sARWlzcCdU
