2014-12-30 - Lighthouse Reef, Roatan, Honduras

26.8m - 48 min - Dived with Annie

Jumped as a group and one of the others said "What's that?" It was a remora and it followed us and played with us during the whole dive. The other group split and was just Annie, Eric and I. I was a bit frightened at first as it looked very menacing and kept buzzing me in and out and around me very fast, but I soon relaxed and enjoyed the parlava. It was also buzzing Annie and it bit Eric! Lovely wall dive, saw huge free swimming green moray, barracuda, turtle, few lionfish, saw jawfish at the end, yellowish eel like things bobbing up and down at the end. Boat took ages coming to fetch us.
