Cruise Day 4 - Roatan - Dive 311

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. 

Cruise Day 4 - Roatan - Dive 310

My 310th dive would take place at Gibson's Bite.

We geared up and we got in the water. The water was a lovely 83 degrees.

Following the divemaster we headed along to see the sites.


 The reef looked nice and healthy.

We went through a swim through which is always fun.



Turtle!  One of my favorite creatures to see underwater.


Quite a large number of fish were seen.


 It was a great and easy first dive. We then went back to shore for a surface interval and got some refreshments and soon headed out for dive 311.

 Max depth 58 feet, average depth 36 feet, runtime was 35 minutes
