Details

This was a sunrise dive at the Liberty Wreck. Not as good as a night dive but still pretty good. As we headed out to the wreck we saw a school of huge bumphead parrotfish cruising over the reef and surrounds. It was a sight to see.

We also saw a huge barracuda inside the wreck. Apparently it is a resident in the area and they call it Barry.
