Loaded up four tanks and headed to Angel City. I love this dive and the double reef here. Very nice dive. The wind was up and there was some wave action on top but to bad.

Then we were going to dive the Hooker but my husbands second tank had a leak. The o-ring was not sealing it so we headed back to the dive shop. It was almost time for my daughters class to get out so we decided to have a nice lunch and then dive in the afternoon. We did the second off Bari but we floated to Buddy Dive before going down. At about 50 Ft we ran into one of the resident tarpon who followed us. First he would swim by me and then turn and come straight back to me turning right in front of me. He did that a few times and then satisfied he took off.

Later I took my daughter snorkeling off the airport. First we stopped at the market next to Chat and Browse looking for a small cooler to take to the park on sat. No luck. Stopped in and asked Michael and he said that he had large rental coolers at the market and would rent me one for two days for $5.00. Problem solved. Once snorkeling my daughter first noticed it. There was a fish that looked like a morish idol that was the size of a small sun fish. It was in the shallows, silver with a black tail and a long thin tail off the back with a black tip. It was very thin and fast. It saw us and turned and took off. I have never seen this fish before. Anyone have any ideas.
For dinner we cooked some chicken and pasta and watched a movie.
