More Diving Pictures




More from today

Sunday Diving




Mile Marker 9.

Launch and landing was a hair challenging (would have been terrific performance longboarding).

The other divers said they saw a huge manta, eagle rays and several white tipped sharks.

I saw some stuff (including a sea anemone garden) as evident from the pictures.

Nice day!

More Diving Pictures




I have been trying hard to make the most of my time out here. The weekdays are really busy, but I do try to take advantage of the weekends. I ran an Xterra Offroad Triathlon yesterday morning - came in first in my age bracket, then followed it up with a group dive. Dove at the cable landing. Today had a similar pace.

Short dive this morning - back out at Mile Marker 10.

One large Napoleon Wrasse, but no other big animals (turtles, mantas, etc).

I stumbled on this anemone close to the end of the dive - the female was rather small compared to the other groups I've seen prior.

As always, a great time!

Soft Coral Variety




In all my years of studying coral, fish and invertebrates, I have never really looked into these types of soft coral, so for once I will be silent on classification.

These pictures (pretend they are flowers) are for you La!

Dangerous Sea Creatures




The Lionfish...

The Moray Eel...

The Sarcophagus (Leather Coral - not really dangerous, just cool)...

Oooooooooo.....

No wind - at all...



The wind has been eerily silent the past couple of days.

The lagoon has transformed into a placid lake and the temperature is getting warmer.

Being an optimist, this now opens up SUP exploring and much clearer water for checking out the sealife that are literally my next door neighbors.

I'll post pics when I get a chance to go snorkeling.
