The Beauties and the Beasts



Saturday 8:30 am we started gearing up for our dive. About 9 am we were in the water heading north towards Devil's Grotto. We noticed a weird current was bringing some thimble jellies, turtle grass and debris. Vis was on the low side over the shallows but nice and blue over at the Grotto. We were greeted by the school of Jacks. Over a hundred of them (I attempted to count them)! We stayed over the sand patch and let them swim by us over and over again. The Snapper was out again also, braver and more curious than before. He kept on bumping my strobes and hanging so close to the lens that any attempt to get a good picture of him was not successful. The caves had a lot of Tarpons in them. After one hour and fifteen minutes we returned to shore with some more pictures, good memories of the new interaction with the creatures and ready for our early lunch.
