sharky60:The largest animals I've seen are the crustations (sp?) and eels, we've come accross some massive lobsters over the years.
we saw a parrot fish last year that was HUGE! close to 4' long and very large in gerth.
This guy's head was about the size of a football, who knows how long he is:
still looking for my first "real shark" in Coz.
Cozoholic:Hey, whats the diff. between a regular grouper & a goliath ? Only size?
ckofabq:ask for a boat to dive the mainland- doesn't mean the seas will always cooperate, right?
And- I gotta say, that southern stingray, with a wingspan as wide as my wife's Honda is long, sure qualified as a "biggie" for me.
Jane's birthday is Saturday... come on honey, let me give you just one, little trip. You're only going to have the 3rd anniversary of your, um,... birthday, once.

jlyle:The Black Grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci) and the Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara) are different species. Nearly all the big groupers you see in Cozumel are M. bonaci.
The Warsaw Grouper is Epinephelus nigritus.
FWIW: The Goliath Grouper was previously known as the Jewfish.
Bad Christi! Bad Christi!Cozoholic:Christi's 'subliminal' messages are evil, arent they?
An uplifting experience, huh?Cozoholic:BTW, we went to the balloon festival this past weekend, it was AMAZING..Thought of you !
ckofabq:Just remember, your first ride is free. The next one costs $30K.ckofabq:30K ? Is that to support your 'other' habit
ckofabq:Since a salt water dunking doesn't appear to be in the near future, we're haulin' out the 'ol bag of rags and picnic basket for a flight tomorrow at o' dark 30.
Unfortunatly, not in our near future. Wish we could join you in Dec. School is slowly creepin up :*( Hopefully you'll be able to meet us for a pre- fiji trip (or two) next year, Junish...Im sure we could think of some good excuses for Jane
Cozoholic:Thanks Jlyle - Visually, how can you tell the difference...???
