We spent our final 2 dives of the day at the same spot, off of the NE coast of Tokashiki Island, just north of the main commercial port (where the ferries run). We had previously dived here with Captain Bruce & the C-Falcon when we discovered the "Looking Hole" formation.
On our 1st dive, we went south from the boat, staying mainly on the outer reef edge as it sloped down from about 25-60 feet depth, enjoying the many sea fans. Using only the remaining charge from the first dive, our camera was good for about 25 shots:
For the final dive & a fresh battery, we buddied with rescue diver Bradley & went north from the boat. We started things off by spying a decent-sized spotted moray eel (black with white spots):
Before long we spotted a turtle that Josh chased in order to photo & video, before a leg cramp convinced him to rejoin Betsy & Brad:
Betsy somehow spotted this pretty purple scorpionfish who wasn't big but sure was pretty:
While Josh was inspecting a standalone anemone (feeding?) & its Pink Skunk Anemonefish inhabitants, Betsy pointed out the adjacent moray eel that was poking his head out of the rock he was hiding under (waiting to poach a meal, no doubt) right beside them:
