Fins To The Left, Fins to the Right!

The whole clan went diving and snorkeling at Fowl Cay reef with Keith from Dive Abaco. Both Grace and I had great dives in tag-team fashion. We were both really pumped to be swimming with Reef Sharks on our dive. Even Jillian was brave enough to come down the dive ladder with snorkel gear on to see the shark. By the end of Grace's dive there were several in the area. In addition to the sharks, these dives had great swim throughs in the reef with tunnels and caverns. I took underwater video of the sharks swimming by that I need to host somewhere so that I can link it to the blog. --- Doug

A curious Yellowtail Snapper - you can reach out and touch these sometimes as they swim next to your mask.


Elkhorn Coral as wide as an armspan


Big Brain Coral


We haven't identified this coral yet - but it was really cool looking


A pretty seascape
