Every now and then, we get lucky in our dives in West Caicos and the channel and catch a glimpse or more of a majestic spotted eagle ray or rays.
These are really beautiful looking creatures and very graceful in the water.
The spots on their back set them apart from other rays and mantas.
They actually compete with us eating mollusks and crustaceans which they crush with their teeth. Anyone for lobster? Hahaha!

The barracuda is a mean looking fish, always glaring at divers!
There is one that they call Elvis at a dive site off Grace Bay called Grace Land. He always swims up to the boat at the end of each dive for some reason. You know he is around when all of a sudden all the yellow snappers just disappear!
Until next week with more his dive story posts!
ps – did you see the hawksbill turtle and lion fish on last week’s post?

Cheers myseastory readers!
Hawksbill turtle sightings are frequent in my dives in the TCI and it always amazes me to watch them or swim next to them.
Tourist divers go crazy for these turtles and it’s always a big topic of discussion on the boat after a dive.
Lately, I have been noticing a lot less lion fish at 20 meters depth and have seen more down past 30 meters. I guess these guys are wise to what is happening to them as they are being hunted down with no restraint in the islands.

One of my fav things to do when we are approaching the boat after our dive is to look for these small creatures of the sea. You almost have to place yourself next to a big coral and observe with patience as it will take a bit of time to adjust your eyes to start seeing these little ones.
It’s really amazing what you see and how there is so much life just in a small section of a coral!
