I'm a Fish!
Friday morning I did a couple of easy reef dives with Conch Republic Divers in Islamorada.

I dove with my brother Doug, Kelly, Doug's pastor Sam, and Sam's wife Mimi.

Dive 1 was on Davis Reef. Visibility was 45', water temp was 79* & the seas were less than a foot.

Dive 2 was on Pleasure Reef near Davie Crocker. All conditions were the same except that the water temp was 81*!

I got some one on one time with a young Hawks Bill Turtle on dive 2.

I was shooting a different lens yesterday. My Tokina 35mm which I have only shot once before. I forgot how much I like the lens. It is very versatile, and focuses really close. Although the turtle got right up to the port a couple of times which was too close for the camera.

I took so may shots with this lens that I had a hard time pairing them down. So, I am posting more than normal. I hope you enjoy them.

Great pics, thanks for sharing!
 
I know exactly where that Christsmas tree collection is, great shots
 
A spotted drum! I haven't seen those very often (actually only once, and it was in the keys, but was a juvenile).

Thanks.

81º water... mmmmmm
 
Great pics. Thanks for showing us my son loved the turtle.
