Dive Journal: Another leisurely morning dive, this time next to Virgin Gorda. We tour through and among several big submerged rock outcroppings, including through several arches.

The profile is quite shallow, and there are pretty soft coral gardens everywhere with excellent lighting. Lots and lots of juvenile fish here, and many fine pairs of spotfin butterflyfish and little herds of blue tangs.

Pieter leads the dive this time, his first visit to Mountain Point.
