Cozumel Day 07 - Flying Gurnard and Remora

Woke to the dark today, we set the clocks back an hour last night so it was hard to get motivated this morning. We were on the smaller boat again with Julio and another great crew. Two more fantastic boat dives, Paso de Cedral and one of our favorites from last time, Paradise Reef. G spotted his own Splendid toadfish during the first and we saw the resident on the second. Several turtles, a tucked away nurse shark and large Green Moray at Cedral. Cruising the sand between reefs at Paradise we saw a Remora fish and our first Flying Gurnard walking on the sandy bottom . The Gurnard is extremely rare, Julio has only seen 2 in ten years of diving in Cozumel. Right at the end of the dive, Julio challenged G to push the limits of his macro skill and capture what was maybe a centimeter long Sea Slug in the sand. Good thing V did well on air today because he was able to accept the challenge but did have to push the limits on available air (good to keep that buddy breathing skill fresh).
Spent the afternoon taking a few photos around Scuba Club and lounging in the hammocks. Enjoyed an amazing sunset over dinner and headed out for a later night dive. We saw the tiniest octopus, a juvenile drum and a good variety of the typical night life. Amazing day of diving.
