We started off the day with two more fun dives. The first site was the Hilma Hooker, a ship wreck that was about 60-100 feet under water. There was a bit of a surface swim required to get out far enough before descending and I got my workout. I’m proud to say I kept up with Monica the whole way :-)...that’s saying something because I think she has some dolphin DNA in her the way she can swim! The boat was almost totally upside down so we saw the bottom first and had to descend down to see the wheel house. We had a couple of big Barracudas and Tarpons that guided us on this dive. It was neat to see how much the ocean has claimed this wreck and made her part of the ecosystem. The fish were happily munching on the algae and other stuff growing on the surface and there were some bigger fish taking advantage of the shade underneath. After we checked out the wreck we headed to the reef and worked our way back to the shore. On the journey back we saw lots of interesting stuff and shot pics and video along the way.
Our second dive was Alice in Wonderland...how cool is that? It was a great site with some sightings that could have inspired Lewis Carroll! We saw eels, scorpion fish, flamingo tongues and huge lobsters. This too was a nice easy dive site to navigate.
Wade is now napping as I am blogging and we are going to do a night dive in about an hour and a half. I don’t plan on taking my camera so no more pics from today’s adventures.
