Description

My life Chaetodon burgessi. I heard from Josh, one of the other divers who has done this itinerary before, that they were present on this site, down very deep. So I started my dive down around 120 feet (on 30% nitrox, the maximum safe operating depth for this mix). After five minutes of fruitless searching I started heading up to where my buddy was watching me from 90 feet, and then noticed Josh intently looking under a ledge at 128 feet. I went down to look over his shoulder, and there it was. He later told me he had found it at 135 feet, and chased it up that far.
