Well after yesterdays fantastic entry, I was only a little skittish walking off of the boat for these two dives. The water was calm as can be for both, but still, you never know when the platform can disappear!!

One of the divers was doing a lot of Lion Fish hunting every morning on the dives, as they didn't seem to be out an about as much in the afternoons with the waves picking up. On the first dive, she didn't shoot any, but 3/4 of the way through the dive, a huge Green Moray came swimming from quite a distance, up and over the corals. It circled around us, came up, 'sniffed' the catch bag, and then went along further down the reef.

With Morays, especially the larger ones, I never notice them, until they're right beside me, or I'm almost on top of them! Makes for a quick shot to the nerves!
