Notes du plongeur

Shore entry at the north beach of the salt pier. We had noticed several snorkelers in one spot quite obviously looking at something interesting. As we headed into the water with our dive gear, we surfaced swam in the direction of the snorkelers and noticed that they were looking at several juvenile green sea turtles feeding on algae on the ocean floor.

After swimming round the turtles, we continued our surface swim to the first set of piers. We descended at continued along the reef wall going from one set of piers to the next.

Its quite evident why salt pier is one of the favourite dive spots for divers all over the world. Each set of piers along the reef is house to a wide variety different species of fish and the looming structures act like a sanctuary over the reef.

I became positively buoyant very quickly while trying to take a few pictures of a large Tarpon. The positive buoyancy is attributed to me holding my breath to stay still while taking the pictures. From this I learned to rely on trying to perfect my neutral buoyancy to stay still while taking photos.

Some of the species on this dive trip include a pair of banded butterfly fish taking refuge in some coral. Surgeon fish, rock cod, big eye blackbar soldier fish, cow fish, barracuda, and on the way back closer to shore we saw quite easily over 10 different turtles.
