yes..... park employee said it was a 'moderate' risk and the greatest risk was at the waters edge and the wet sand: they did not want young children in the water but adults were free to swim at their own risk. Viz was fantastic and there were a fair number of divers in the water. The water did sort of smell though......... I cut my dive short at about 70 minutes and rushed home to take a long shower

As I've said, I'm still pretty new to this site, but it looks like it may be pretty common for something really cool to be more likely to show up at different times of the year - or maybe even different times of a given *month*! I'm looking forward to testing this theory.
Just need to keep finding new "books on tape" authors for the drives. Really enjoyed Robert B. Parker last trip. . .Kevin

There is a definite cycle at BHB. That will be evident to anyone who dives it once a month. Now is the time of year to look for Bumblebee shrimp. They are found under urchins (normally the white body-red quill urchin), sea stars and cucumbers... The manatees move out with the weather and there is usually some sort of "spring fling" going on for a bit... Two years ago it was Sea Hares and Frogfish. Last year the big fling was octopusAs I've said, I'm still pretty new to this site, but it looks like it may be pretty common for something really cool to be more likely to show up at different times of the year - or maybe even different times of a given *month*!

Jim: that is a great video, between the music and the sort of crazed motions of the shrimp, I could not help but think that I was watching the aquatic version of John Belushi (in the blues brothers): I've not seen a bubble bee shrimp yet: hopefully will see one soon.

Yeah, it will happen. That video used my +10 diopter attached to my video housing... Creatures seen here are definitely smaller than they appear! You just have to capture their movement when you take away their hiding spot
On another note, Scubaruss66(?) Philip put me in contact with David Haas (David Haas Photography), who hooked me up with some Ikelite DS51's so I will be shooting TTL with my new DSLR setup

The new rig got wet, but my base lens is a mid-range lens that can only focus past 13". More for taking shots of big reefs. I am working on a macro lens for the system , but one must remember, once you are on DSLR, every item you want to purchase is $200+.... :-(
