Diving a Patch Reef 4 miles south of Marquesas. Drifting about 1 knot South. Spotted the Red grouper next to a sea fan. I dove down and shot the Red Grouper behind the Gill Plate. It swam into a near by rock. Went up for air then went back down to retrieve the Red Grouper. Brought it back to the boat where I placed the Red Grouper into the boat.
