Third Encounter (Saba) |
It is a bit of a swim from the mooring line to the actual pinnacle. Here we are making our way through blue water. |
Here is the top of the pinnacle. With a lot of people, it can get a bit crowded on the site. Luckily there is a bit of reef on the mooring line. |
Diamond Rock (Saba) |
Here is a diver getting pretty close to a buried Stingray. |
It is rare to see octopus out during the day; we were lucky to come across this one, who seemed to think we did not see him. |
Squat Anemonie Shrimp are kinda small but easy to spot inside Giant Anemonies. There were at least three living among the tentacles of this anemonie. |
They are very small and are hard to shoot without the proper lense. |
Diamond Rock had its fair share of Blenny. Here is a decent shot of the head of one sticking out from a sponge. |
Here are a pair of blenny neighbors. You can see they a small fish but have a bit of a body they hide in those holes. |
Man O' War Shoals (Saba) |
As there was not anything else to take a picture of on what Joe (pictured here) called "The Man O War Marathon Sand Swim", I took a picture of him. We are probably waiting for Lynne to tell us where the boat is. |
Scorpion Fish are still surprises when I find them, and they are usually pointed out to me by other people. |
This little hermit crab was an interesting find as he made his way along this coral head. |
Ladder Labrynth (Saba) |
This is a West Indian Sea Egg, that is trying to cameoflage itself. |
Octopus are always interesting to watch. One of these days I plan on just watching one from a distance rather than letting everyone crowd around it, because once you have four or five divers hovering about, they get nervous and head for a hole. |
Lobster were not rarities in Saba. |
Nurse Sharks were not spotted every dive but we saw a fair number. |
This is a Spotted Lobster. |
Smooth Trunk Fish were plentiful ... |
And this little one was really cute, althought I fear I may have spooked him from his night hidey hole. |
