Alligator reef Islamorada 10-30-14 dive report/pix

[deeper thoughts]

No wind no seas very comfortable weather

Viz 35 feet no current, water temp 79/80 with no coral bleaching to speak of

Netflix was with Florida Keys Dive Center by the lighthouse filming Bloodline I think

4-5 Jawfish hanging out in the sand, pretty cool

the 15th picture is of a "Buffalo Trunkfish" says it's Uncommon in Florida.
He was swimming around with a shark sucker on him. I never saw this fish before. What a face.

Swore I'd never drive to the Keys, again, but this just about has me re-thinking that.
