Thank you deeper thoughts. Don't have a clue who he is. I suspect I am in a few of his photos, too.

Wow! Amazing Eagle Rays, Whitespotted Filefish is beautiful too. I'll be in Key Largo early next week but will not have an opportunity to dive the reefs while on the Spree doing the wrecks.

Good diving, Craig
