steamy sunshine, light winds, 1 FT seas offshore the upper keys this AM. decided to dive shallow today as the eagle ray aggregations have been spectacular on the inshore sites @ MO for weeks(today, not so much). crowded middle/north so a double on buoy M19(deep south, pillar forest, permit ledge). particulate blue water, viz 50FT, light current, water 83F @ 20-40FT. very active on the reef today: 2 reef sharks(each with a hook imbedded in mouth), nurse sharks, 5-6 eagle rays, eels, turtles, abundant black/goliath/nassau groupers, horse-eye jacks and various tropicals. pics from TIMG,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Wow Tim - the gumbo must have got you feeling spicey!!! These shots are phenomenal Such color and composition! Plus you used Phil as a backdrop for the shark shot. From now he will fondly be called "Shark"!

Thank you CajunDuva. Very nice day, the sharks came by several times, and the two Goliaths were there on both dives.

Awesome photos Tim. I have some video from last week of the same subjects but not even close to the quality of the shots that you have
