Went to Barkers Bay this time, which is on the North part of Grand Cayman past Westbay. Once there, we had to do a long swim to make it out to the reef where the waves were crashing. You can see that's it's really far out there:
On the way out to the reef, we encounter.....:
a healthy looking stingray who was one the move. Once we got out to the reef, there were a bunch of fish but, the crashing waves were pushing us around and it made it hard to click some clear pictures.
Here's a chipper little Squirrel fish.
This is a delicious looking Nassau grouper. You can kind of see how the water was swirling around. I wonder what the best way to catch one of these is without a spear-gun?
I thought I'd include this picture of some fire coral. I brushed up against some this day and now I know why they call it 'fire' coral. It really stings as little bits get lodged in you skin. Anyway, watch out for this stuff.
Just before heading back to shore, I spotted this little eel hiding in the coral. It's a goldentail moray eel.
Here's a cool school of surgeon fish. Classic.
This Caribbean spiny lobster wants to be left alone.

Spencer,
ReplyDeleteQuite a nice dive.
I don`t know if I could swim out that far, but seeing a Golden Tail would definitely be worth it.
If you go through my blog archives, you`ll see many more of my fish.
It`s pleasant to know that I can shoot them from the comfort of my home, but the adventure of a dive is irreplaceable.
Thanks dude! It was a long swim. My feet got all cramped. Some good exercise though!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean from the comfort of your home? You got some kind of giant fish tank?
