Let's Go on a Dive>>>> **PIC INTENSIVE**

I think I am ready to go diving.........I have all my new gear out and ready to be packed for Bonaire.





I had better set my bezel before I go into the abyss



Let's do the deep part of the dive first. Oh look.........a group of Garden Eels at 80ft.


And there are a couple Caribbean Reef Squid


Wow!! and there is a 4ft Tarpon!!


I guess I should look for my dive partner.......Where is she?? There she is........over there reading.




I guess we should go more shallow and blow off some Nitrogen........What is around here?? LOOK!!! There goes a Turtle.







Crap!! There goes a Lionfish. I wish I had taken that class instructing how to net the little sucker. These non-native fish are starting to become prolific in the Caribbean, and need to be removed.



Oh boy, I see a couple different types of Parrotfish. Man!! Those are some big ones..........Each one is at least 2.5 feet long

Rainbow Parrotfish


Blue Parrotfish


Look over there.........I spy a Chain Moray Eel


Time to look for some MACRO shots, and take some pictures of some little sea creatures........I think a couple little fish have found one of my watches.......



Wow.....Look at the little Lettuce Sea Slug


I have been looking for one of these for some time...........A Sailfin Blenny


There is a little clown anemone shrimp


Guess we had better end our dive for now. I hope you have enjoyed our dive.

Absolutely brilliant, Jason!!!

I liked the accompanying commentary - it was like being there with you, seeing all those amazing creatures down there

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your wonderful dive with us

Incredible pics! Thanks for sharing.

I'm going diving next week in south FL. The Lionfish have become a problem there too, but instead of netting them, we just spear them and cut the spines off with a knife...
