Dive 311 would take place at Overheat Reef.
I got a close encounter with quite the sea creature of song and legend.
As the song goes:
"When you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee...
That's a Moray!"
That was a rather active moray eel, he didn't remain hidden for long.
He came out to say hello.
He wasn't hiding at all but was swimming right up to people. Got a little disconcerting, especially when it swam between people's legs.
No one's knees were bitten in the process.
In addition to the Eel, there were some very large groupers that liked to hang out with the divers.
Both liked to swim right alongside the divers, and would stand their water and you'd have to go around them if they decided to hold their position at times.
And there was another Turtle!
It was a great dive.
Max depth 50 feet, average depth 25 feet, 52 minute run time.

Myself and my ex-wife were foster parents back in the 1980's. We had a teenaged girl who was selling magazines for her class in school. I bought a subscription to a diving magazine, even though the only time I dove was in our local swimming hole with a buddies scuba gear, in high school.
The pictures in the magazine were worth the cost of the year long subscription. Your dive pictures remind me of just how fantastic the underwater world can be, and why so many people like yourself love to dive as often as possible.
This is just to tell you that I love your diving pictures and your accompanying descriptions. Please keep on posting these, they make me smile.
Remember the eel from "The Deep"??????
Pigpen51: Thanks and will do!
Matthew W: Yes indeed. That eel meant business.
