That reminded me: I did dive with one in the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta a few years ago: but I'd like to see one in the ocean!

VERY nice! Love the turtle pics timg

We did not see a single lionfish on ANY of our dives the entire week we were there...amazing. Wishing we were still there - awesome weather!

That reef rings a bell. I may have visited it some 20 years ago, not sure.

LUV the turtle and butterfly!! So pretty! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you jet126/. Turtle was just sitting on top of one of the coral heads, green sea turtles are seen less often than hawksbills or loggerheads.

Thank you scubadada. Very special place. Crappy visibility, but the residents are a lot of fun to visit.

Thank you CajunDiva. Sawfish trumps lionfish! I was surprised we did not see any up there, usually there are a lot of lionfish there..
