Thumb Rock

Thumb Rock, Cooper Island, BVI			N 18° 22.1', W 64° 30.4'
Dive Number 145		Buddy Maddy	Surface temp mild	Starting pressure 3000psi
Depth 54ft	Visibility excellent	Time 43m	Water temp 26°C	Ending pressure 1100psi
Notes:	Martin opted out of this extra afternoon dive, but I had heard great things, and was keen to get to another site I hadn't seen, so elected to join Maddy for an afternoon swim around "Thumb Rock" named for the appearance of the reef popping out from the bottom like a hitch hiker's thumb. The rock lived up to its reputation, treating us to plenty of fish, a fleeting view of a Southern ray, a turtle [pictured], and a goliath grouper measuring about a metre and a half at least!
