Scuba Diving, Skin Diving & Hookah Diving

Went scuba diving at what we hoped was slack tide at the "Magic Mushroom" 

As you can tell from the part in  my hair there was still a bit of current

Dragging the dinghy against the current can get a bit tiring

So Noelle and I used our handy reef hooks to hook in for a little rest 

and observe the surroundings

Later we went for a more relaxed snorkel

We then went for our last hookah dive as I am getting rid of the hookah rig

and replacing it with a dive compressor so we can fill our own tanks

Below is a video during our hookah dive

Lots of fish, a Noelle appearance, trumpet fish and mantis shrimp

and we are finally seeing some good sized grouper

they only get big here because it is a protected park

My dad talks about grouper this big being plentiful when he started diving,

but that was 50 years ago, a few more people around now.
