Re: ROATAN EXPRESS I trip report.

Thanks Dan, yep 190 to the sand. I was junk hunting but there were a few broom tails around. There is one in that pic someplace.! ARS and some nice dog snapper with a bunch of African pompano seen while hanging on deco. The cool part was that for an 82 minute dive I used 6 cubic feet of gas total....

Dago.

Fish for sure act differently when you are making zero noise.
