Description:

This was a neat dive.  We moored just up from Point Guignard.  After adding a few pounds to my weight belt after the first dive, I did my graceful giant stride into the crystal blue waters.  We descended, then headed down to about 45 fsw to go around the point.  I think my coolest memory of this dive was the barrel sponge that had to be at least five feet tall.  It was huge!  And the life was overwhelming still.  There was just too much for me to remember.  We "turned around" in a little valley and headed back towards the point.  There was a small arch for us to go through (I just went around, as I wasn't confident I could go through without hitting the coral) and more life to see.  Most of the end of this dive was between 15-20 fsw, so it was a "moving safety stop" for all of us.  Since my air was running low, I ascended, gave the "OK" sign to the boat, and snorkeled my way back, following the other divers.  All in all, a cool dive.  And L'Abym Wall is right down the coast about 300 meters, so you can do two dives right in this area.  (The captain pointed out about 10 other mooring buoys, all for dive sites right in this area!)
