his dive story…

This was last Thursday when I took the morning off to go diving with some friends. It was a normal dive until the end when Dave our boat captain decided to spear a lion fish and tucked him between some corals. At first, I had no idea why this shark was all wild up about and he was circling and swimming at rapid speed.   He came out from nowhere. Then we saw it muscling in where the grouper was, trying to get at the lion fish and saw it swim away with the lion fish with two gulps!

Yummy! And wow!

Go right HERE to see my previous diving videos and pictures…until next week!

his dive story…

to the cuttlefish, I love these slimy creatures that hide under corals and crevices. I have seen much less octopus here  in Turks & Caicos than I had when I was diving weekly in Lagos and Sagres in the Algarve, Portugal. This was the first octopus that actually was out in the open. You can see that he/she is trying to intimidate us by expanding itself to show it’s size.

On another note, I miss eating a nice fresh polvo salad!

From these pics, you can easily have swam past this graceful creature if you are not looking carefully. We often see these big sting rays in our dives in West Caicos and they often see divers so there is no surprise or reaction from them when we invade their private spaces.

Every so often, Joana would see one come up to shore and just swim around the beach looking up out of the water now and then.

Oh did I tell you that the locals serve rays on the menu if you are lucky enough to be there on the day of the special!

See my previous posts HERE, will be back next week!
