We arrived so tired that it took us a few days to rest up. Early flights are terrible especially for me because I fiddle around making sure I have everything for pictures and diving and clothes. Need I say more. I was fortunate to get a trip to Turniff Reef on Thursday. This is an all day dive that takes two hours to get to and consists of three long dives. We had a great boat to go out on and I'm sure used plenty of fuel.
There are not many divers or just tourists on the Island. The resorts are mostly empty partly because of the economy and also I think that most people are not traveling because of the economy. We noticed this last year but it is even worse this summer.
I have been eating my red snapper for lunch at a local restaurant and that has been excellent. Tomorrow I go on two close dives.
I saw plenty of fish on the other dive but a really cool thing happened between the second and third dives. A lot of dolphins were attracted to the boat's engines and were swimming and jumping all around us. The boat stopped so we grabbed our snorkels and got in the water with them. It was great. I've included a couple of pics of my fat friends. Also I am including a pic of a tiny long legged crab that fits in the palm of your hand. He's an amazing creature.

wow, ive never seen a school of dolphins.. cool...i just got my padi open water license last june ^_^ thanks for sharing the nice underwater pictures..
p/s wonder what camera/case that ur using for the underwater shot. u might have written somewhere that i didnt notice.
I've been diving this year and seen a turtle. I just use a cheap housing for my little canon. The trick is to be in shallow water or very close to what you are shooting. Sometimes, if the subject is very close I use a flash on the camera.
