Dive went perfectly with the new buddies. We saw a lot of coral, looked gorgeous. During the dive the instructor took Monique a bit deeper to show the canyon; I went over the top, but after the canyon accidentally went deeper anyway and ended up much deeper than allowed. At the end we went into two caves where we saw two large moray eels.
