December Diving Conditions as of DEC 9, 2011

I went for a dive this morning to train and orientate one of our new PADI Instructors (Antonio).  It was his first dive here.  We made our descent into a school of grouper, golden grouper and saw 4 mammoth grouper (300-400lbs). The dive continued with huge pacific sting-rays, swarms of puffer fish, grunts by the 1000s, beautiful school of porkfish, trumpet fish (cornet fish), even a turtle.  After 40 mins or so we started our ascent to make a safety stop at 15ft for 3 mins when all of a sudden approximately 800 manta rays swam by lasting the whole safety stop.  I've been diving here for 2 years, and it never gets old, or seases to amaze me.
