Underwater Pictures

The Aguila wreck on the southwest side of the islandThe sea serpent that's taken up residence in part of the wreck



An eel garden - those little black spikes are all eels that vanish into the sand as you swim over.
The Hole in the Wall dive. I love this dive site. Something about swimming through the wall is a really cool experience.
Throughout the reefs are these caves, some of which are big enough to be explored. Underwater caving is intensely cool but also freaky. I kept thinking "O-C-T-O-P-U-S!!!" every time I swam through an opening. Never saw one but it's really not the kind of creature you want to meet in a cave when you can't easily get out.

We found these crab claws in the reef and they just crumbled under my touch after this picture was taken.
more to come...
