I just wanted to share with my fellow SBers, this shot from yesterday. It was on the way in from my safety stop at Vaersenbaai. I've occasionally seen just a head or two of a Garden Eel but this was a whole colony of them swaying in the water, and they were kind enough to pose for one pic before my presence scared them away.

I expected Garden Eels there but have never seen them. Probably too crowded where I make my safety stop (between the end of the rope and the nice concrete block full of coral and crowded with fish at 3 meters). Next time I will look more carefully.

The visibility is for unknown reasons not what it used to be. Still a decent 50 feet but it looks cloudy under water.
 
Yeah, I was a little farther east (towards the pontoon) from where you normally do your stop. I was surprised at how close they let me get.

Vis was better yesterday at Director's. I don't know what's going on with it lately. Let's hope the water warms up a little too!
