Moray Monday

[cozcharlie]

Slipped a few minutes into Tuesday Eastern time, but still going to stick with my Monday title. A few Moray pics from today, yesterday and last Thursday (including our inquisitive green friend at Cedral) Note the balloonfish in top left corner of one of the moray pictures--wish I could have gotten better shot but getting to sea creatures to sit still is obviously tricky Currents have been kind of slack, so viz hasn't been the best, but a fair number of creatures around (lot of people seeing eagle rays). Have quite a few other pics that I will probably post in a few days, especially if I get some more

Happy Holidays

Particularly like the Chain Moray

There was one hanging around the SW corner of the stingray pen next to Blue Angel while we were staying there a couple of years ago. Beautiful animal.

Actually saw the Chain Moray while snorkeling up north Sunday. It was 2 feet from the surface on the wall right at the shoreline (obviously given I said 2 feet). It may be the same moray, but I have seen chain morays in very shallow water (2-3 feet) up here a few times as well as on the bottom in 10-12 feet of water within a few yards of shore.

Viz still hasn't been that good by Cozumel standards, but I have definitely seen quite a bit past 10 days (5 actual diving days). Have quite a few pics to post when I get time over next couple of days.
