Today I was able to go out with the best spotter in the world, Lisa. We went out on the Enzo and I felt right at home with all the Japanese on the boat. (jk)

Our first dive was on the Sea Tiger and right off Lisa found an eel , then we were lucky enough to see some of the eagle rays that fly around there. At the end of the dive, Lisa found this beautiful frogfish! Try to see if YOU can see it!

On our second dive we went over to Rainbow Reef. My first time there but could be a great dive if you are looking for small stuff. As usual, I felt overwhelmed with Lisa's skill to find the hard to find. I found the normal stuff but not interesting enough to bother Lisa with.

She found a very impressive frogfish on this dive as well and a bunch of other stuff. Any hoo, I feel I was very fortunate to dive on such a beautiful day with great vis and a wonderful dive buddy.

On the first dive, saw a group of backplates and doubles. Who was that? Any one here?
 
Wasn't it? It was flat, flat, flat...I didn't feel sea sick at all and that's definately a plus!

It was a great set of dives and a great buddy :D Thanks for coming along with me...Let's see what we can find next week.

The guys we saw were military divers....you'll see them out there every now and then.

I'm working on my pictures...will post them soon :wink:

Added your pictures in for you, hope you don't mind :D
