Under the sea...

I have dove for the past five days straight spending at least three hours a day underwater. Today I spent a total of four and a half hours submerged in the ocean. Overall, I am amazed at the diversity of species found there. Even though my main focus is installing coral markers, I have seen a wide variety of bright colored fish, slugs, sea cucumbers, and corals. On one offshore dive I was lucky enough to see a 6 foot long lemon shark! Then, while coming back on the boat we saw a sea turtle too! One of my favorites are the giant clams, which are brightly colored greens, blues and yellows. I feel very fortunate to be able to spend so much time underwater in such a beautiful place!
