 ABOUTfeatured: 30 Best Snorkeling Blogs Fun Ways to enjoy the caribbeanMay 21, 09 Comments Off
 caribbean-spiny-lobster Hi again everyone! Aimee and I had a fun adventure this morning, we did something that we have wanted to do for four years! We met a friend at 9:30 and loaded our dive gear onto a small boat and took off in rough seas to a nearby area called Saba. This is a dive spot that is around a mile up the coast from the Sea Aquarium and is only accessible by boat. Our plan was to get dumped off at Saba and dive all the way back to the House reef in front of the Aquarium. One by one we rolled off like Navy Seals and down we went watching as the boat left us to explore at will. Being that we had such a long way to go we decided to level out at 40 feet to conserve on air. It was a nice dive but not anything like I had imagined, maybe our last storm “Omar” destroyed this area as it was fairly bare in a lot of areas. We did the whole dive along a big wall so we could see way down below us and stuff above us, turned out to be a good cruising depth. Your photo this evening is one of Aimee’s cool finds, this is a giant Caribbean Spiny Lobster. This lobster was really beautiful sitting in his little cave with his “million dollar view”, Aimee went around to one side and I went to the other. We pretty much just swam from one cool sponge outcrop to another taking pictures the whole way although the waves overhead were really starting to affect the visibility and taking pictures became more and more difficult. It was a fun dive but not sure I would do it again, think I will stick to our reef or my favorite place in front of Breezes!
Our day went by so fast today, at 3:00 we took off to the store only to find it was another holiday and everything was closed? So instead of running around I went on a mountain bike ride with some friends and later met Aimee on the trails running with the dogs, that’s our day.
Talk to you more tomorrow, Barry
