We tied up to the rig. Mike was the first in and had already made it to the other side of the rig when travis and I got in. We swam to the southwest corner and began our breath up. I saw the snapper from the surface and grabbed a quick breath and dove down and made the shot. Travis stayed at the rig to go buddy dive with mike as I brought my fish back to the boat. We do not use tethers. I put my arm between my bands and climbed in the boat via a ladder and pulled the fish in.
