- David Mc Kinley's trip Roatan 2
2 little coral blennies, arrow crab, squat anenome shrimp. Tons of lobsters in one of the swim thrus. 3 lettuce slugs. At the end of the dive, right by the mooring was a beautiful little peacock mantis shrimp (juvy, probably only an inch big.
So many blennies, plus a few squat anenome shrimp. Spotted moray and striped eel. Saw a number of beautiful worms too, including a flamingo tongue
Nice sponge sitting on it's side in the sand, just off the wall. It was covered in life, from blue cleaner shrimp, cleaner shrimp, arrow crabs and the like. Saw a turtle and a scribbled trunkfish as well. Lots of macro, as usual, coral blenny and sailfin blennies.
Sting ray. Nice swim through the nostrils as well. Cowfish. Boxfish. Nice blennies.
Beautiful dive! Young turtle, tons of the typical macro and a pipefish just at the point, by the mooring. 5 slender filefish as well
4 eagle rays. Turtle. Nice little blenny i havent seen before as well. Lots of slender files again.
Turtle. Southern stingray.
Great lionfish hunt after a long surface swim, from the shore, with Ken. After a rest, to get our heart rates down, we dropped straight own to 45m and found a den of about 8 or so lionfish. We promptly went to town and pulled out about 5 of them. Real fun!
Lovely drift dive that began at West End Wall and finished at Texas. We had to travel from sand patch to sand patch, just to take a break from the big game like turtles, snappers and barracuda. Lots of lionfish around that made for fun feeding displays. Spotted moray. So began eagle ray day as well. Saw one on the reef.
Another mess of lionfish and two more eagle rays.
A dive not soon to be forgotten. What a beautiful wreck. Certainly a good lionfish hunting destination as well. Those guys are everywhere in the wheelhouse of the boat. In total our group must have pulled out a dozen.

Busy dive for turtles. We saw 5. FD: Dan, Laura
Kieran showed me the route through blue channel. Not so tough. Great macro as always. Lots of beautiful nudibranchs.

Had a great time taking out Shen & family on an adventure deep. The kids loved the egg trick.
Saw a completely just hatched juvenile pipefish, maybe 2.5 cm long. Just beautiful. Lots of nice arrow blennies around as well.
Spinyhead blenny. Harlequin pipefish. Bristleworm.
As usual, Ken was swimming around like a maniac and spearing every fish in sight. Fortunately I found one in quite a tough spot in the shallowed and got him. I redeemed myself.
Research dive with Malcolm. Very fun and noticed how well I did on all the tests, until 40m, where all of the sudden my results plummeted. Saw some lovely macron on the reef, as usual. Great juvenile boxfish as well.
