Got totally washed out by rain but we refused to leave without a dive. During a brief let up we geared as quickly as possible and got in the water- just in time for the monsoon to come back. Submerged to the sound of a million raindrops violently hitting the water... The dive itself was scary- so much silt and run off from the rain made it dangerous lol. I had to stay very close to the wall to keep myself from becoming disoriented. Still, we ended up with a nice 53 minute dive along the wall at about 25-30ft. Took about 5 minutes to explore the entrance to the cave/overhang, but it was to murky so we will have to go back.
