Hi Tim,

Gorgeous photos of the Eagle Rays, all 3. The color photos really show the what their heads and faces look like. I just got back from Roatan where I saw as many as 14 Eagle Rays in a dive, but not as close and personal as your shots.

Interesting that both Reef Sharks have a hook and line attached. Is one of these included in some of your previous photos?

Good diving, Craig

Thank you Craig. Yes, we see several reef sharks regularly, and I am sure I have images of this one from other dives. Most of the reef sharks we see have hooks in them, and a lot of the nurse sharks and barracuda, too.

thanks for sharing your terrific images.....sad that hooks are becoming the norm.

Thank you iamrushman. Well, when we dive in a tourist-driven area dominated by commercial, charter and sport fishing... We never even used to see reef sharks at all (first several years I was here, never saw one on Molasses Reef, now we see them on nearly every dive in certain places on the reef, so I will take that as a good sign for the food chain).
