A couple of guys just rowed up with the biggest grouper we've ever seen.  Goliath, maybe.

Our friends from the Panama Aeronaval were back this morning for coffee.  They stayed for lunch and a swim, and gave each other haircuts.  Such sweet guys.  

These Rainbow Parrotfish are the best- three or four feet long, in groups they seem more like herds than schools.  They graze on coral and eject contrails of parrot poop whenever they feel like moving.

It's been calm enough to swim outside the reef lately.  Lots of fishy action- but murky and hard to distinguish the players from the background.  The Nurse Sharks are always cooperative, though.

great lightening storm last night!

A lovely Nurse Shark- big enough to spot from a distance.  It awoke from its nap, slowly swam off- and then rolled over and gave its back a good scratch on the sand.

yay- camera works under water!  still some issues with smaller creatures unwilling to hold a pose.
