Shark Reef – Fantastic Dive! …. pictures

JCF — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 01:23:19 +0000

So a group of advanced divers headed out with the plan for Hema 1 and Shark Reef. Well, the Hema 1 was a miss with strong currents we crawled along the bottom long enough to know we were close but not making it then did a long blue water ascent. But, shark reef was in fine form to make up for whatever we might have missed. Started with a free swimming nurse shark pup, followed by lobster clusters, spider crabs, a big nurse shark, southern sting rays and a friendly Hawksbill turtle. We were under until the air ran out and came up a very happy bunch of divers!

Manta Ray in front of Eco Dive, Coyaba on Grand Anse Beach

JCF — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:46:42 +0000

This lovely baby manta spent the morning and early afternoon in front of Coyaba in shallow water feeding. All divers got a great view as the dive boat was pulling out for the morning 2-tank dive, and got another show on the way back in. As a reminder, these rays are completely harmless, no teeth, no barbs, no aggression, and, are simply stunning.

Diving in Dragon Bay – Pictures

JCF — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:30:08 +0000

A few pictures of a recent dive from Dragon Bay to Molinere/Underwater Statue Park. We got caught in a huge school of silver sides being chased by some juvenile barracudas in 15 ft of water. It was an amazing experience, especially for our three new divers along on a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience.
