Very nice @timg . @reefman thanks for the update.

Nice. Some sharp, vivid photos there. The horse-eye jacks & hogfish were good, and that permit shot was sharp.

Thank you Elena and Richard. A bit challenging with the viz, but I'll take a January day in the water anytime.

Very nice set. Especially liked the horse eye jacks and the Nassau grouper. Seems like I don't see many Nassau grouper shots.

Thank you Dave C. Nassau groupers can be the easiest to shoot sometime, particularly when they are on a cleaning station. Black groupers are very shy and more difficult to approach.

Really appreciate your regular reef pics. They get me through the winter

I remember when #1 dive buddy Andrea and I dove with Gary & Brenda at Conch Republic. One day the dives they planned were to sites we weren't interested in so they hooked us up with another operator that took us to Molasses Reef. Gary was very apologetic since we had dived that site with them a day or two before. Andrea and I really enjoyed the site and were quite happy to have dived there more than once on our trip.
