Crotch Rock

We did a day and a night dive at this location. Lots of low profile coral heads to see, but it changed dramatically at night.

This was the site of my first encounter with an octopus. It was a rather nervous one, although I don't blame him since there were strobes and lights on him from at least 8 divers at once. The poor little guy got so freaked out that we scared the ink right out of him and off he went in to the darkness.
