This Green Sea Turtle was about 2 feet long. He was pretty curious and didn’t seem to mind being filmed. John and Maureen were on the dive also. Key Largo, FL. August 27, 2010.

Catherine and Kirsty came from London to finish their scuba diving certification this spring. They did their open water dives in Key Largo and got certified. They did a great job and had a lot of fun. John and Maureen also joined us for one day of diving.
Ashley took some great photos along the way in Key West, Key Largo, and Jupiter. I especially like her sunset photos. Have a look at the photos.
Nurse shark
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009This will probably be the last video I post of diving in Key Largo. Of all the videos I took it is probably my favorite. This nurse shark, Ginglymostoma cirratum, was very gentle and calm even as I followed it around the reef. I hope you enjoy the video.
Lobster
Sunday, October 25th, 2009Although this isn’t my best video, I think it shows the spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, pretty well. To take this video I had to hold the camera upside down and point the camera without being able to see the viewfinder while I was vertical with my feet up and my head down.
Grouper
Friday, October 23rd, 2009I took video of this Black Grouper, Mycteroperca bonaci , in Key Largo, Florida on 3 October 2009. Since this is a protected area where no spearfishing is allowed the grouper let me get very close. In areas where spearfishing is allowed the groupers flee whenever they see a diver.
Permit
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009I was surprized to see this Permit, Trachinotus falcatus, swimming towards me. Fortunately I was able to get a few seconds of video of it. The permit is a highly regarded gamefish and underwater they appear to be fast swimmers.
