Sharks, crabs, divers and more.

Hello friends,
Well I’m done leading dives and trying to focus on shooting photos for the rest of this trip. I have been trying out a variety of different techniques and getting more good results than bad, but admittedly, at this point in the trip, I’m not as far along as I’d like. Having said that, I always set pretty lofty goals and have high standards for myself and I probably wouldn’t be happy unless I came away from this trip with a cover shot.
We saw two different sharks today. I found the first one, just a little baby 3 foot nurse shark, and Mickey found a 5 footer or so on the next dive. Even though nurse sharks are pretty much completely non-threatening, it’s still cool to see them.
Enjoy the shots,
d.
Kat checks out some tube sponges
And here she is again.
An Ocellated Box Crab (Calappa ocellata) hides from me in the sand on a night dive.
Lil nudi at night.
Kat found this gaudy clown crab, Biggest one I’ve ever seen.
What is this scorpionfish thinking? Bad spot dude, bad spot.
Yes, I have a favourite coral. This is it.
Toady the toadfish in a different hole at last. So glad I could see his tail.
Mickey inspects a different scorpionfish.
These nassau grouper are following us around every dive hoping for lionfish kills.
Mickey’s nurse shark
Really like what is going on with this hungry fireworm.
