All are great, I particular like the nassau grouper and fourth shark!

Thank you Skeptic14. Sharks are always fun to see. Seems like there are a few that have settled in to this part of the reef.

Wow, my kind of dive. I particularly liked the Porcupine Fish and the Horse Eye Jacks.

Thank you scubadada. Porcupine fish was quite friendly. The south end of the reef is usually a great spot for horse eye jacks.

Yes, it's been interesting to see them consistently (species is listed as "Rare" and "secretive", also adults usually found in deeper water), a few have been around for a couple of years now. This one is the biggest one, and seems to have taken over the lair where the Goliath groupers usually hang out.
