Day 4 in Paradise and a different fish to be seen. Our first dive today was a wreck, the C-53 Felipe Xicotenantl. Not bad for a wreck but there are hardly any critters that have taken up residence. Last year I was too nervous to go inside, this year, no problem. The most exciting thing was the Lion Fish that Connie found. They are an invasive species here so no one wants to see them, put it was cool to look at. The divemaster actually caught it to turn in for a bounty. We found 2 larger ones, but they didn’t have bags big enough to capture them. I’m sure the next time they dive the wreck they will be more prepared.
On the second dive we saw a huge lobster out of his hole, a scorpion fish and two spotted drums. This is the first time we have seen spotted drums here.
The third dive of the day gave us a crab with claws as big as my hand and another Splendid Toad Fish. We saw a couple of them yesterday.
We must be getting used to the routine here because we are not so tired today. It might be because we are in bed by 10:00 pm. As those of you who know us, know that doesn’t happen often.
We’re off to watch the sunset from our porch. Later
