First Dive...

7/30/07

Today we lazed around in the AM and went for our first dive and snorkel in the afternoon...awesome! We went to a dive/snorkel spot called Shark-Ray Alley. It is a break in the reef where many of the fishermen come back into the lagoon and dump their trash fish...thus many ray's and sharks gather...not to worry, mostly just nurse sharks. Anyway, we saw plenty of nurse sharks and other interesting sea life, including rays, Eagle (spotted) rays, Moray eels, Grouper, Barracuda, and many, many undocumented (I am quite sure by someone) color full fish. The dives were only about 35 ft, but it was great. The water is crazy clear even though it has been really windy here (good for keeping bugs off though...not one bite to date...Yea!). Kim Snorkeled above us with her guide Effrain...he would on occasion free swim down and snag one of our spare regulators to grab a breath...pretty impressive. (Pictures coming soon). By the way, I think Jori is addicted...

Cheers! RB
