My Quest for a Golden Courie

The beautiful Golden Courie

It was a lazy afternoon working at Micronesian Divers Association on Guam.
After a day of dive guiding I was in the shop and overheard someone talking about finding a Golden Courie at a divesite called Pete's Reef.  I had guided Japanese divers at that site many times but had never found a prized  Golden Courie.  Pete's Reef was just north of Facpi Point.  It had a coral reef that started at the edge  of the barrier reef and ran  down to about 70 feet where it turned into a sand flat.  Within a week or so I was headed to Pete's Reef with a group of Japanese Divers.  As the captain of the dive boat, I didn't dive because I had to be in command of the vessel in case the mooring line broke or some other situation that would put the passengers in danger.
        During the dive, as I would help the returning divers back onto the boat I noticed that one young female diver came up with 1000 PSI of air in her tank.
