Loaded up two tanks and went to Margate Bay. Nice spot. For the second dive we went to jeanies glory. Also a nice spot . In the afternoon I took my daughter snorkeling at Andrea I and we were greeted by a very large turtle who
was happy to keep us company for almost an hour. For dinner we got take out from The Reef restaurant .

Loaded up two tanks and headed out to Angel City again. I love this dive and the double reef here.
For the second dive we did The Lake.
In the afternoon we took a trip to the Donkey Sanctuary. Always fun to see the little ones.
In the evening I took my daughter night snorkeling at Andrea I but we didn’t see much. We went back to our dock at Bari and went back in and saw lobster, a very large puffer that hangs out here and a small squid.


Loaded up two tanks and drove out to Oil Slick Leap. The waves were up to much for me so we went to 1000 Steps. I love this dive. The coral formations are fantastic.
For the second dive we went back to Andrea II. Love this site. We had a very nice dive wile I poked around taking photos. No turtles this time. We did see a large fish getting cleaned on the reef. He was doing this spastic little dance hanging vertical in the water while the little fish cleaned him. He did this right in front of us and we got great video and pictures.

After lunch we did a third and our last tank off our home reef at Bari. There are more fish here then at any other dive site. We moth noticed that in the late afternoon the fish all seem to be franticly swimming around. We spotted several eels and one of the tarpon came and kept us company for awhile.
For dinner we had pizza from Pasa Bon Pizza.

Lynn, wonderful shots. Thanks for the rolling trip report it's great to hear you are having a good time. Your daughter will remember this trip all her life.

I do have one request please figure out how to force on your flash underwater. You will get so much better colors. You've got the framing, focus and exposure dead on. You just need more white light (vs. blue/green filtered light). Here's a filefish picture I took in 2003 (older lousy camera) with the flash on.

Please take the above as constructive only, your pictures are already very good.

Lynn, when you force your flash all the shadows will be gone on your GOOD shots, and the colors will jump out at you. Thanks for sharing... Ron

I don't mean to hijack a thread but what do you guys mean by "force your flash"? I shoot without a strobe also. Thanks.

Bob, most cameras have a way you can program them to flash every time you push the button. It eliminates all shadows and brings out the colors better... Ron

Thanks Ron, now I have to do a little more reading about my canon. Oh, Lynn, great photos and trip reports. You're making it difficult to wait these last few days untill I'm back down there. Bob
