Net Reef

Nice night dive with many small lobsters and only one octopus. There were at least four DM's with us and three other divers. Once on the bottom we all spread out and the lights from divers looked like search lights looking for an escaped prisoner. This site has many tall elkhorn clumps the reach up 20 feet or more. On these we saw all kinds of spiny urchins. We covered the corals and found many fish sleeping in cracks and holes in the reef. It made for some good photos. Then an octopus on a tall clump and all the divers rushed to it. Last time I was left out so this time I jumped right in and got a few photos. As we got shallower the krill started to show up and one of the divers was freaking out. Ryan was having problem with his buoyance and was floating up much of the time. Time came to go up and on the safety stop tried to see some bioluminescent critters but alas, none. Best done by boat. Akumal Dive Center is almost straight in from the reef.
