Still looking for the right site

Rodney and I snorkeled the rest of the way from the "standing pipe" to the cliff line looking the the perfect spot to place an ICON station in Laolao Bay. Just past where we stopped with the NOAA crew during their site visit, the bottom flattened out, the corals got smaller (mostly) and options for solid placements seemed to abound. Along the way we came across a massive Diploastrea heliopora (with Rodney for scale).
