Turtle Farm Photo Expedition

Two dives during the week end with Romeo, Daniel and Tracy. Saturday water was a bit murky, light current heading west. So we dove east along the mini wall. Great activity on the reef. A group of five Tiger Groupers were causing havoc around the reef while feeding. Big schools of Grunts hiding amongst the very tall soft coral branches on the 30 feet shallow pan.








 Sunday vis was much better and no current. We headed west along the sand and out toward the main wall. There before the actual drop off , a large tall coral formation erupts with life. The bottom depth is about 54 feet the top sits in about 40. The formation has many ledges, small tunnels and many places for creatures to find shelters. Rope and tube sponges abound, great cleaning stations and lot of light reflecting from the sandy bottom. Tarpons were also out and about, big Parrots fish and a big turtle feeding.
Great dives!
