The horse-eye jack is one cool-looking fish Videograph by Rich Torkington in Bahamas 2003

Dive Journal: At the previous dive briefing, Gavin mentioned that the big groupers under the boat sometimes like to be petted, but it takes a very slow approach. Linda, Johnny, and I decide this sounds like fun so we suit up to do a repeat dive here at Amberjack Reef.

It’s a very relaxing activity as we settle under the boat examining the humongous black groupers, trying to minimize our bubbles. The groupers allow us to get quite close, but none will allow any physical contact. We examine the wonderful schools of horse-eye jacks again, a remarkable fish. A few sharks are still circling around, too, adding to the scene.

After 20 minutes or so, we head off to leisurely explore the reefs around the mooring line. I spy a longsnout butterflyfish, a quick swimmer who ducks into crevices at every opportunity. John spends lots of his bottom time having fun with the sand.

Hey, another shark!
