The water temperature was a warm 84 degrees (according to the dive computer) while the air was only around 80. At those temperatures it’s so nice to jump in the water. Even so, Ana gets cold while diving and wore a 3mm wetsuit.
The dive site was a 50 minute boat ride away towards the north west part of the island where the sea floor raised up to a depth of about 60 feet. It’s basically an underwater mountain (see map below) with a gorgeous reef that sits on top of it (see the sketch by our divemaster in the photos below).
The dive yielded gorgeous reef formations with spots of white sandy sea floor. The sandy floor allowed us to set down in a place that wouldn’t harm the reef so we could get better look at some of the sea creatures such as a Caribbean lobster and various plant life.
Bushnell off the north west coast of Isla Fuerte. A mountain in the middle of a deeper part of the sea.
During our briefing on the site, our divemaster drew a rough sketch of the reef formation.

Latin guys that called Ana hot in Spanish, not knowing she perfectly understood. In DC, speaking Spanish is NOT a discreet way to communicate.
