Another typically beautiful Salt Cay dive, but this one relatively unremarkable. We looked for the big turtle again but saw no sign. Heading north from the mooring, we find a slumbering nurse shark in a large crevice on the wall. Otherwise, there is not too much fish life this morning. A very beautiful spotfin butterflyfish entertained us on one spot, and another stunning school of goatfish happened by near the end of the dive. I caught a little bit of video of a butter hamlet. There were also streaming schools of creole wrasses which are always a treat. John is great this dive – no problems with equipment, ears, or stings! This was the last dive for the Michigan clan – we have enjoyed diving with them. Janel relaxed at our house this morning. | |||||||||
