Photos - More Wreck Free Diving
I returned to the United Caribbean for another dive. The blue water was in and viz. good at around 70 ft. or so. Headed out with Parrot Scuba this time.

It is pretty shallow at 70 ft. with two interesting pieces of wreckage including a bow and stern section that are still fairly intact. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779062 There are some intriguing confined space areas to checkout like this compartment in the bow section. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779063 There was a large goliath grouper on the wreck this time adding to local color. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363979614 http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779065 http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779064 I carried a couple of GoPro cameras on a Quikpod Monopod to capture things fore and aft as I passed through sections of the wreck. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779076 Moving over to the stern section. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779060 Running down some passageways in the wreck. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779063 There is the grouper again http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779060 http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363979614 Fish do like wrecks http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779075 http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779068 It does get bright nearer the surface http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779061 Comparing the size of the stern section to the grouper, that is a big fish! http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779076 I have never though of nurse sharks as being particularly patient but this guy put up with two close passes overhead, almost. He moved on during the second pass. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779063 Passing by the first time, the shark decided to hang out. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363979614 Another view of the stern section, at the point of separation from the rest of the ship. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779069 Getting "exhausted" http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779071 A reef shark came by to check me out on the second dive. Had a similar scenario a while back on another second dive. The shark first checked out the scuba divers, then moved over to me and then just faded away. I couldn't find either shark again after the first sighting. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363878298 http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779069 http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363779068 Time to surface, sharks can make you extend your bottom time to try to allow a better look! http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363979614 Time to board and head in. http://www.fksa.org/gallery3/var/res...g?m=1363874564 Heading back through the inlet, nice dives yet again! . |
