Appropriately named Double Reef has
Appropriately named Double Reef has lots of sea life across both the inner and outer reef. It also has quite a bit going on above ground as the Park Lucha Pa Libertat or Fight For Freedom Park is a popular destination for fishing, tours and exercise.
Although the dive site entry is a literal walk in the park, it is quite long at 650 feet (200 meters); but well worth the effort. We documented our first convoluted barrel sponge here and also spotted a few uncommon critters including a cornetfish and juvenile blue parrotfish and jackknife fishes. As usual, the video explains everything you need to know about how to dive Double Reef.
We want to encourage more shore diving, so this video provides some guidance where the site is, how to dive it and what you may see there. If you want to skip to or review specific topics, the section timings are as follows.

UNCOMMON SEA LIFE AND FIRST TIME CAPTURE IDENTIFICATION
We primarily use two sources to validate sea life we don’t recognize. The first is Florent's Guide To TheTropical Reefs which can be found at https://reefguide.org. Its free and has lots of pictures, but is not comprehensive. The second is “The Reef Set: Reef Fish, Reef Creature and Reef Coral (3 Volumes)”. The box set can be found on Amazon; however with all our travels, we also purchased the eBooks (http://fishid.com/store/product-categ...) so we don’t have to carry an extra five pounds of paper in our luggage. :-) We also reference other sources from time to time as well.
Here are some links to more information/images about creatures from this video.
