Dive 5 - Fisheries - Monday, May 9th, 2005

School of ceasar grunts start the dive

White spotted filefish poses

Closeup of a Social Feather Duster

Southern stingray lies buried in the sand

Closeup of a balloonfish

Nassau grouper serviced by cleaner shrimp

Great closeup of an arrow crab

Lettuce Sea Slug

Christmas tree worms pop out of coral

Sailfin blenny appears from the coral

I find my first scorpionfish

His eyes follow you when you swim by

A spotted eagle ray makes the scene

This is the closest I've ever been to one on a dive

This ray is comfortable with my presence

. . . and he goes about his business

Digging in the sand looking for food

Blowing sand out his gills

Brett and Angie watch the eagle ray in action

David swims up and starts taking photos

This is the best eagle ray photo opportunity ever

David takes twenty photos of the spotted eagle ray

Ray circles round & round for maximum photo ops

I sure hope my camera media doesn't error out

Donna and David enjoy one of their best dives ever

Thanks for taking me to Cayman Brac
