Here it is!!!!! We danced while Rainbow Reef's Captain Owen played Cajun music for us on board the Tropical Adventure RRDC Instructor Brody even joined in the fun!!!

GREAT pics! I concur...the diving conditions were absolutely STELLAR. I have never experienced better - we were blessed to have the 3rd Annual Cajun Invasion scheduled at the perfect weather time It's payback for 2013 when we hardly got any diving in at all

All of your pictures are great, but I'm wondering if anyone can help explain something to me. I am really interested in learning more about reef fish behavior. Of course, identification comes first. In picture #4, it seems to me that we're seeing a Spotted Drum and a High Hat. If so, I saw the same thing on Friday at Molasses. The two were hanging out together in a small enclosed area, and upon closer examination there was a REALLY tiny juvenile spotted drum swimming back and forth in front of them. I have since been wondering about that arrangement...am I misidentifying the High Hat or do they commonly hang out together???

They are always together at this reef . Sometimes 6 to 8 of them together
I may be wrong but it appears to be a juvenile and full grown
