In the first part of the video, those are definitely Tarpon (you can easily tell by the tail shape) - the last solo guy swimming up to the camera is obviusly a Barracuda.
So I'm not crazy, others have seen tarpon in the T&Cs!

Here is my video edit from last week.
Agreed, I will take sun and wind over rain and wind any day. The only downsides of the wind are getting cold when you get out and that I couldn't fly my drone much. It has been a weird year weather wise in the tropics. Lots of wind and rain.Beautiful video, thank you for sharing. I know that you had to deal with windy conditions, but I know that the Caymans and some other parts of the Caribbean are getting drenched this week, so maybe it wasn't so bad!
Pretty much every liveaboard I've ever been on has this. While the words used were "hot shower" I'm guessing it was really the typical quick warmish rinse and @drrich2 seems to confirm. Key is it's fresh water, warmer than you are, and very convienient - one of the many little niceties of diving from a liveaboard. If it was really hot that might not be a great idea, but I'd guess skin bends issues would be related to the typical deepish dive profiles in that area, especially if you go for 5 a day.Few minutes after a dive? How did anyone think that was a good idea?
Thanks! I would have liked to fly the drone more but the winds were pretty high for my little Mavic. It was nice to see how the Aggressor and Explorer teams helped each other out. One time the hot/cold water mixer broke on the Explorer and the Aggressor had a spare to lend them. The other time we needed compressor oil (someone put the wrong stuff in I think) and the Explorer hooked us up.We were on the next dive site over and often times switching dive sites with you during that same week, on board the Explorer’s boat. There was a group of 4 on our boat who’d also been on board the week before. They made it over to French Cay the week before and did one dive site only due to winds. They said we weren’t missing out on anything as French Cay diving was not the same as it was pre-storms from last year. This was our 4th liveaboard trip here, with the last time being 3 years ago. The diving was a bit disappointing this time.
Your photos and videos are great @darook. I especially liked the video. Nice job!
