Dorian Makes His Presence Known

Although Dorian missed us by miles the Bahamas weren’t so lucky. Abacos has been hammered and we’re just starting to see reports of damage. Considering Dorian was a Cat 5 when it hit Elbow Cay we’re anticipating there won’t be much left when it’s over. Now we wait to see if it hits the US coast and if so, where. Hopefully it will miss Myrtle Beach and Wilmington as we have friends and family there.

Today we were back to our regular weekly diving with EcoDivers. Such a great group of people!

Banded Coral Shrimp. These guys are small and shy.
Azure Vase Sponges. Sometimes they are lilac colored, sometimes not.. Beautiful
Wire Coral is everywhere and can be yards long.
This is why I look inside the sponges. Here we have a small Arrow Crab. They kind of look like siders.
More Arrow Crabs out in the open
Trunk Fish are one of my favorites. I call them the hummingbirds of the ocean as they have small side fins and are constantly in motion. There’s a second one inside the coral.
