After lunch we did a one-tank scuba dive at a site called the Visibles located West of the dog islands and known for the series of caves, ledges, shallow tunnels and overhangs. I saw some snapper, squirrelfish and barracudas. The site is rich in stags of fire coral that make it look like an orange landscape making the access difficult to the macro life. I saw beautiful green tunicates that I have never seen before.

Then we packed up the boat quickly and headed on a 45nm ride back to St. Thomas in 2hr and 40 minutes. We finish the day with a wonderful dinner at “Oceana” one of the best restaurants with a view in St. Thomas. Now we sit for about eight days til the seas ease up.
