Continued using 1:1 however probably should have tried 28mm standard at this spot due to all the good opportunities to photograph fish.

Dive Comments:
walked out to flag 2 then snorkled to flag 3 and went down. Swam out farther, probably to about flag 4 at the bottom of the breakwater. Then turned around can came up shallower to about 35' and swam in to flag 2 before surfacing.
