Entered Wood's Cove in South Laguna without incident.  Kicked out a short distance before dropping down.  We decided to do a 180` out to the large reef and overhang.  Upon dropping down, I immediately spotted a 'Baby' Moray!  Soooooooooooo cute!!!  Then on the backside of the same rock, I spotted another JV Moray a tad bigger.  Continuing on the reef, a fairly large Horn Shark was spotted along with numerous bugs, two abalone side by side munching on kelp, purple globe crabs, elbow crabls, sea pansy's, Treefish, Scorpion Fish, Kelp Fish, Black Smith, Senioritas, Black Eyed Gobys, Musclues, Kellets Welk, and Scallops in which I devoured one for an appetizer as I was diving!  Yummy!!!  If only I had soy sauce and wasabe, I would be all set.

Exited without incident to a beautiful starlit sky.  Perfect conditions.  Can't wait to go back!
