Silver Sides and big fish!




We spent last Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday diving the reefs from Casuarina Point to Eden Rock. We dove at different times of the day including two dives a day. We carried our cameras and the dives were a Photo Fest. So many fish! Lots of Tarpon all around, over 300 Horse eye Jacks, a couple of the caves and tunnels by Devils Grotto were packed with Silver Sides. We encounter a Goliath Grouper and also several Black and Purple Mouth groupers. One big Black Grouper was even schooling with the Horse Eye Jacks for a while during the late afternoon. Small and big turtles modeled for us to practice our much needed photo skills. Another big size fish was a Dog Snapper and also a beautiful Crevalle Jack cruising along.
We also enjoyed watching a lobster, small blennies and hermit crabs.
Even though we were watching our bottom time as we wanted to be conservative, each dive was over one hour and a half! So much to see and enjoy in only 35 feet of water. I can't wait to go back on Friday!
Until next one.
