Second dive, unsupervised.

We descended at the crow's nest and swam along the port side at the main deck and next lower level, entering and crossing directly to starboard and back a couple of times. Surprised a queen snapper and some yellow-tailed leatherjackets. Heard whales singing on and off for most of the dive. Peered into a few places on the main deck aft. Admired coral growth on the port side and the crowds of bullseye around the main mast. Ascended very slowly via the crow's nest.
