Lots of orange cup corals, sea cucumbers, and sea turtles. One turtle was feeding on some local vegetation, and another swam with all of us -- right in the middle -- for a few minutes. In fact, he was so close to me that he hit me with his right flipper a couple times. Roberto saw a large moray eel with many red shrimps on its body and mouth, but the shrimps fled before I arrived to see it.
