Day 10 took us back for 4 dives on the Spiegel Grove. I hate to break it to you all, but the 2 morning dives were once again 100+ viz. Blue Coz or Grand Cayman water. Pancake flat seas and zero current. It was epic and go wherever you wanted to go without any concerns. Various reef sharks, giant trevally, schooling jacks, Angel fish galore... We were on the 6 ball all day and I found this lovely scorpionfish just adjacent to the mooring ball and also a beautiful fireworm. We spent a lot of time in the well deck at 100 feet, doing a long swim-through from the aft to the bow area.

Afternoon dives saw the viz drop to about 60 and the current pick up noticeably, but still very easy and manageable. More sharks and more fun.
Tomorrow morning concludes the diving for this trip. It is just my group of 5 on our boat, so we are going to go dive the Duane or Bibb (still TBD) and then finish out with a shallow reef dive on Molasses Reef for sure.

Nice captures!

I'm wondering about your 7' nurse shark. It was behaving like a previously fed by divers nurse shark.
