TWO GREAT DAYS OF DIVING

Yesterday was a great day of diving. It was my first experience in bugging (aka "lobster hunting"). I had a blast; I have never laughed so hard while under water. And as a nice bonus we saw an octopus.

This morning we had a great drift dive on Molasses Reef. We had 7 large spotted eagle rays swimming in circles around us for a good 100 or so yards. After that we saw a large school of parrot fish, a rather large grouping of scrawled file fish, a school of cobia, and permits. We did see one nurse shark too. That was all in just the first tank of the morning dive.

On tonight's dive the best was the seeing a spotted eel feed. The little butterfly fish never had a chance. It was impressive to see a predator feeding. Tomorrow I expect another great day of diving.

We even saw a highly endangered Key Deer cross the road. I've drive to Key West many time over the years but had never been lucky enough to spot one. As expected we arrived at Captain's Choice in Key West about an hour early. It was nice not to be rushed. Checked in, chilled, until the boat was ready for passengers. It felt very odd not to be lugging tanks on the boat. You almost want to jump in and help, but I must admit it feels pretty good not doing all that work. After all, we were there to enjoy a great morning of diving. Soon enough we headed out and about 35 minutes later arrived at the mooring site for the Vandenberg . It looked like a...
