Sorry for the lack of updates. My wife has been bogarting the weekends with her deep sea fishing. Father's day and other activities have put a damper on diving, but I plan on being in the water this weekend. still kinda spooked after my swimming in 'pool' with the shark. I'm gonna pick a different pool next time. No new corals made some small system tweaks, added an APEX lite controller. the trusty ACjr served me well, but time for the new. Big shout out to TB aquatics for shipping to APO. i hate when people price jack you on the shipping. lowered the water level in the tank by dremeling the teeth slots lower. easier to clean the glass now. I also ordered a set of Maxspect Mazarra S x 3 LED's. really excited about getting the new lighting next month. The tank has really stabilized, and all the old survivors, new additions are doing well. im going to start the transition back to synthetic salt next week. got a new flash unit for my underwater camera, since the ocean claimed my difusser on the factory flash, and olympus wants close to 60 bux for a stupid piece of opaque plastic. Once again you guys get to be victimized by my shoddy photog skills. hope to have some new reef porn for you guys soon!! GL C |

Scared of a black tip reef shark? lol. 3 years ago, I went on a Blackbeards Dive trip in the Bahamas. Went on a shark feeding dive. 13 Black tip reef sharks came out to feast. Scariest thing I've done in my life!! Not to hijack your thread but here are some pics of my experience with black tips. I would say the scariest part was seeing the big shadows swimming by under the boat and having to jump off the boat into the water. We swam around the pit, and descended to 55 ft. Sat on our knees with our backs to a 10 ft tall reef while the divemasters hooked up the pully as you can see in the pic about. Always enjoy reading your thread. Casey

I feel sooo cheap, all you guys want me for is my pics managed to get in the water today, one dive only at the coral junkyard. I tried to take some pictures to give an idea of the scale and mass of this coral head. I've dived this spot at least 10 times, and we have not covered the entire place. it keeps going and going. we thought we would get back to the same place we found the zoa's, no such luck. once your down there, it all blends in. you don't want to spend 20 minutes looking for something when you only have 35 minutes or so bottom time in the area. still working out the kinks with the new flash. it seems I had a tendency of blasting too much light on the closeups, need to work on toning it down a bit still our favorite walk in dive for the diversity we get to experience. i hate to make analogies to movies, but today we felt like we were on Pandora, underwater version, from the movie avatar. I cannot even start to describe some of the livestock or layout of the formations we seen. pure eyecandy..stuff ive never ever seen before. Some corals kinda cross between flower pots and GBTA's, some funky bubble corals, soft scrolling formations, etc. picked up a few corals for the tank, some nice lobo's and a couple of starfishes. we still have a couple of air tanks on the back porch, might get another dive in tomorrow. enjoy the pics |
