I'm guessing a tunicate of some sort, but I don't know what kind.

The Loggerhead that you see has been in the area for years....many. We named him Edmundo, he is old and cranky and probably suffering from Alzheimers.... You will see him in Cedral, mainly closer to the wall, but he has ended up at begining of Santa Rosa.

Excellent footage on the video. I have had the good fortune to see the Loggerhead (Edmundo) several times on multiple trips. On my last trip we came upon it at Yucab and again at Dalila a few days later. It wasn't shy and tolerated divers getting fairly close with cameras. It is truly a amazing and fun to see, especially watching it break huge conch shells with ease.

ps.. can someone on the island go kick the camera at SCC, it has been stuck on a dreary shot since 3/28..

Great Video! I shared it on my Facebook page as my "moment of zen." Hope you don't mind.
