Another amazing dive at Humpback Rock

This place is a fish-for-all
First, you swim down through the first layer



Nice Gaffsail Pompano, Purple surgeons, Rainbow Chubs and Bigeye trevallys



Layer 2... Blue Trevallys... these guys are about 2 feet long each... Along with the top of a gigantic school of Spottail Grunts



Finally, we're on the bottom of the structure. It's easy to lose people occasionally, they just keep disappearing behind the fish



A big group of spottail Grunts.. some purple surgeons and rainbow chub, and creolefish mixed in



Nice structure... hey would you guys get out of the way... I'm trying to take pics here



In the background, you can see a white tip reef shark



Nice Leather Bass



That’s a big lobster…



Ever wonder how the rays and sharks are related??? Well, here's your missing link. This is a Banded Guitarfish, in the same family as the ray and the shark... Looks like a ray with a sharks's tail... very cool



Gotta get that close up...



And the parting shot.... how many different species can you see in this pic???

Another amazing day at Humpback Rock...

How did I miss this!?!?

I'm happy to see this being developed in Panama. I grew up there and have not been back since 1992.

My parents still lives there, but they come up here to the US all the time. I need to take my family there soon.

Thank you for sharing and building up the dive tourism industry in Panama.

Wys.
