Whoa! What a huge day of diving I had today! A huge great hammerhead, a very large pod of spotted dolphin and a horny old loggerhead.
We did four dives:
Dive one was the wreck Capt. Tony. Vis was about 90' Water temp, 77 degrees. No current. Cool stuff included the Goliath Grouper that lives there, and I discovered the deck of a large pleasure boat at an undisclosed location. I will investigate this in the very near future.
Dive two was Lynn's reef. Vis was probably 75', water temp, 77 degrees, and just the slightest north current. I stayed on the surface of the water just in my mask and fins due to the configuration of the trip. I still had tons of fun, and saw the biggest hammerhead I've ever seen. She had to weigh 900 lbs. Broad, incredibly thick and no neck. She swam along the floats eyeballing the groups, I could see the sinew ripple under her skin as she passed under me (about 20' below) then turned west and sauntered off. Only one group out of the four saw her. Awesome.
Dive three was Black Condo in reverse. Vis was probably 60', water temp 77 degrees with just the slightest south current. We saw tons of morays and a cool medium sized nurse shark that was out and about, maybe lookin' for grub.
The coolest of them all was dive four. Yes. Dive four was Tabletops in reverse starting with the finger. Vis was only about 45' up there, and the current was still slightly southward, but with a little bit of west in it too. The first cool thing was treasure (a fishing pole) followed shortly thereafter by a pod of spotted dolphins. I saw about 25, but I'm sure there were lots that I couldn't see. I was about 20' away from the closest edge of the pod. Awesome. Then, a little bit later, along comes this big old loggerhead. He came straight at me, closer, closer, closer... until his beak touched my mask! Woo. Then he put his arms around me. Ack! I ended the date at that point by gently pushing him back with my hand. Hey! His belly was really soft in between the plates! Hmm... what do you know. Anyway, he kinda just headed off to the north just like nothing ever happened. Kinda gives a new meaning to the term "turlte molestation". There was a cool stingray after that too, and a couple of amberjack as well, but the turtle, the dolphin and the hammerhead stole the show today.
I shot in raw so I'm in the lab playing. See ya real soon. Promise.
