The sun was hot, the water was warm, and the marine life was “aplentyful” as Rainbow Reef Divers visited Snapper Ledge and Molasses Reef. Molasses had it’s usual abundance of marine life with Large Barricuda, schools of Tarpon and Permits, and a Hawk Bill Turtle, to name a few. Snapper Ledge provided the unique sight of a 6 foot Nurse Shark plundering the reef for food while a Very Large Green Moray Eel was inches away, staring with envy, at the event. Lobsters were congregated inside a cut of the reef (Obviously recovering from their July 4th celebrating). A large number of Trumpetfish were at the site and a couple of them were quite curious about the camera lens. I was ready to file for a restraining order when one of the curious little fellas finally decided to take his curiosity elsewhere. Lastly, there were the usual large schools of snapper and french grunts hovering around the reef. KEITH GRISWELD was fortunate enough to witness nature’s show as he was completing the open water dives course of his PADI Discover Scuba Course. Keith’s Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor was Rainbow Reef Intern TANIA SOARES. Rainbow Reef Course Director TOM WITMER, conducting a Master Scuba Diver Training course with his student RAFAEL, were also along on the trip. Lastly, KELLY and CHRIS ORMES completed the last of their open water dives to become certified PADI Open Water Divers. They were instructed by Master Scuba Diver Trainer BILL FINDLEY. Congratulations to everyone.
