After breakfast we did two more dives at G-Spot. One of the Mike's went down with Randy on the second dive and Stew let him borrow a 60mm macro lens. This made for some fun super macro pictures, especially with Mike helping out with finding small critters to shoot.

    Our two afternoon dives were done at West Sand Spit, which was a very sandy area with lots of stingrays. Before sunset the captain took the chase boat over to a sand bar that was just sticking out of the waves with a few of the passengers.
