We've now completed dives 16 and 17 on this trip to beautiful Cozumel. Today we dove Plantanca Gardens (down to 119') and Chhankanab Ballones (about 70'). We saw both large and small critters, but amazingly no turtles today. We saw some hugh Grouper. Be sure to look all the way to the end today for a look at just how big.
Enjoy, and please leave a comment. Last dives, and last post will be tomorrow. :(

Lettuce Nudibranch (approx. 1" long) - Can you find his antenni? (Reva).JPG)
4" Blister Worm (Reva).JPG)
Flower Worm - about 3" across- the bloom retracts when approached (Reva).JPG)
18-20" Parrot Fish - their color is hard to capture. This one is fair. (Mitch).JPG)
Small conch (2") in Sponge (Reva).JPG)
On our 2nd dive, we met this. Could it be drug trafficers from Ecuador, J.K. coming to visit, or the sightseeing submarine "Atlantis"? (Mitch).JPG)
This is photo of a nurse shark and a BIG grouper. Can you find the grouper? (Mitch).JPG)
To give you some idea of the size of the fish, here is Mitch within an arms length of the Grouper (did you find it?) (Reva).JPG)

I would say it is pretty big. One more day of diving and then back to realty.

ReplyDeleteHey Uncle Mitch & Aunt Reva-That grouper was a lot bigger than the ones we caught on the pier. The nurse shark is cool. I held one on our snorkeling trip. We don't want to go home tomorrow. Chandler and I are trying to convince Mom & Dad to move here. Love, Cheney
