Crew: Captain Wagner & DM Adam
The Whalesharks are back! Wait. Stop. Let's not get ahead of ourselves - first things first. After our Sunday morning checkout dive we headed over to the Labyrinth, a favorite dive site, where Adam found a Lettuce Sea Slug while weaving his way back through the swim -throughs and valleys that the site is named for. On Tuesday the group was graced by an Eagle Ray during the morning dive at West End, and we found our first sea horse of the week at Big Rock. During the afternoon dive at, as Adam so lovingly calls it, "sticy outy one" we saw parrot fish spawning. And then Tuesday, Tuesday was the day, the day we saw Dolphins on our way out to Raggedy Caye. And the day we saw a WHALESHARK. It was after our second dive on the North side and we were the only boat around and our captain, Wagner, spotted the boil. When we went over to check it out, sure enough there was a 25 foot whale shark. Other highlights of the week were: an octopus out playing during the night dive, 2 purple sea goddesses stuck together at Duppy Waters, a couple of stingrays and 2 more sea horses.
