Comments	There were seven experienced divers from the mega cruise ship Royal Caribbean "Adventure of the Seas". Due to light rain visibility was poor, but the dive to the German ship "Antilla" was excellent. Although badly broken up, this freighter that was scuttled by its German captain when WWII broke out is heavily encrusted with sponges and soft corals, and surrounded by reasonable fish life. Our second dive was to another badly scattered ship, the "Pedernalis." The highlight for me on these dives was the inauguration of my underwater canon!
