Manta Ray, Goliaths, Eels and more

Cool 2 days of diving in Jupiter.











Had to do a self portrait Facebook style with this Goliath Grouper (the Goliath made the Fish Lips). He/She would actually violently push away any other Goliath that came near me, haven't seen that before.




These Amberjacks would nip at me intermittently perhaps seeing if anything was worth eating.

Great pic's and self portrait ! Also glad to see another user of the yellow metal rattle. Mine came in real handy this weekend, in alerting the group of divers I was leading that an approximate 14 foot Great White was passing by, 30 feet behind them No, I'm not kidding. Again, great pic's, look forward to meeting you in Florida one of these days !

Thanks Muzik. Yep, that rattle has quite a bit of mileage on it, though not for a Great White in FL yet. We've had them here but none I have been fortunate enough to see.

you need a gopro on a broomstick for self portraits

Great pic's, thanks for posting. Posts like this keep Florida on my "list" of places to go.

Thanks all!

@LWang: Have a few of those 'GoPros on a Stick'. Unfortunately the GoPro was mounted on my housing this particular day,

@DSR-3: Palm Beach is a great place to dive, especially for Turtles and Goliaths.
