It was a nice day with good conditions and great visibility and it was time for dive 2.

We spent more time on the "gravel road" through the site, where various species of wrasse were in the area.

Brownspotted Wrasse

This wrasse hung around me long enough but it was still a bit coy about getting its picture taken.

Purple Wrasse

I also found these strings of eggs floating in the water. Unsure of what they are eggs of.
