I have only done 12 dives on my CCR, so far. But, the last one I did was on a shallow wreck.
I noticed a HUGE difference from past experience. There were balls of fish hanging out in different spots on the wreck. They let me swim right up to them until my mask was about to enter the bounds of the ball itself. I would get WELL within arms reach and they didn't move at all until/unless I actually reached out as if to touch one. Then they would slowly move away to keep from being touched.
It was such a different experience for me that I have remarked on it to several different friends and family since that dive.
I am chomping it at the bit to get the time in and build my skills on the CCR so that I can start getting in again with my camera.
