Well it's quite easy...we were about 10 people, some 40-45 feet down on the ocean bottom, looking for any interesting things.

We came to a reef wall, and I spotted a big fish swimming around the bottom corner of it, so I followed it to get a pic. Then I came back and everyone had vanished, so I tried to search for them. Then, after not finding them for awhile I decided to check for more sea creatures and didn't find much, only bigger and bigger schools of fish. I did find one lobster creature no one else seems to have seen, so I'm waiting until they develop the film to find out what it actually was - all I know is, it looked lobster-ish but was HUGE!

Anyhow my air was going down so I surfaced, coudln't see the boat, so picked a direction and went back down. Then I came up again and spotted the boat luckily, swam to it, and that's that. The group came up shortly after from a complete opposite direction.

Luckily, I didn't run myself into any sharks (although there were supposed to be 7 different species around that dive spot).

Not a bad first time scuba-ing
