SCUBA Diving out on Anegada Reef on New Years Day
Our end result of our Mackerel catch yesterday looked like this. It was very good too!
A perfect catch for New Years Eve...
Don't let this picture fool you. They look like they are all geared up and ready for New Years, but in reality, no one was awake by that time! Some made it close, some not so close. We all heard the mega yachts blowing their horns though...
Today was flat calm and no wind, so it was time to dive the Rocus out on Anegada Reef...
What are the odds that the exact time we showed up, a dive boat showed up with lots of divers with yellow tanks! We chose to go over the side and then see what we saw on the wreck at the end. Today this dive was remarkable for the amount of fish life we did not see. Fish were very scarce.
I did love the colors of the Wrasses...
Simeon going through the wreck...
Close up of the blue fish...
I did get a couple nice silhouettes of my snorkelers at the end, I think that is mostly what I took pictures of. Here is Nick coming down...
And Nick and Katie...
After I put my daily homemade loaf on bread on the table while motoring to Anegada, we found dolphins! We all jumped in, the guests caught a glimpse, and me nothing but there were lots of Starfish..
Bazza took us up to where they were again, but they disappeared as soon as i entered the water again. It was like chasing your tail. I opted for a couple arty shots since I was in the water anyways....
This is looking up at the boat from under the water. I think it is an interesting photo!
We finally made it to Anegada mid afternoon and sent the guests off to Loblolly Bay on the other side. I expect them back soon for cocktail hour though! Tomorrow should be a dive on the Chikuzen...Always my favorite! Swells, stay away until then!!!!
