A great little drift dive off Great Thatch...

So, Margot and I talked Bazza into taking us for a drift dive the other afternoon. We jumped in at the east end of the channel side of Little Thatch....The current looked like this!


We get to do so few of these they are always a lot of fun...This is Margot's first ever drift dive and she loved it...


The black coral was spectacular and plentiful....


I found this slipped lobster and surprisingly he did not go anywhere. Eventually he let me pick him up and hold him, until he decided he had enough and skittered away making me squeal like a little girl!


Next we found a shark laying underneath a ledge...


The soft corals and the colors were absolutely pristine and beautiful....


By the end of our drift dive we had gone about a nautical mile and came up way in the middle somewhere between Little Thatch and Great Thatch! Strobes are great though for getting the boat to spot you...A couple clicks and Bazza was right on us...




After that it was into Sopers Hole for the night cuz we wanted to go for a dive with the Tarpons and Sting Rays!
