Glasseye Snapper

Glasseye Snapper

Happy Thanksgiving to my Americano’s out there I totally forgot about mentioning it yesterday!!  Like I have said before living here you tend to start forgetting all the US holidays and just start celebrating with the Dutch and the locals on their holidays instead!  We just got home from a fun evening out sitting along the waters edge under a bunch of palm trees eating a traditional Thanksgiving meal cooked by our friend Agusto at his restaurant.  We all ate way too much but man was it ever delicious and I think Aimee even brought some treats home to the girls!! 
 
Your photo this evening is a very common reef scene that we see on every dive we make.  These Glasseye Snappers just hang out in one spot under an overhang all day long and only at night will they come out to feed.  These fish are very approachable and appear to be completely unafraid of divers, it’s almost like they are in a trance during the day.
 
I’m full and I am tired, it’s off to bed!!  Enjoy the holiday, Barry
