I then traded in my DM hat for the Galley @#*&% apron.

Great report, but how does such derogatory language make it past the Mods...l'm surprised the women aren't making a fuss...and l thought l was bad

Kevin, it wasn't meant to be derogatory at all. The apron that I had to wore actually said that....most of the people that work the Galley on the boats are Men.

If it offended anyone, please accept my apology as it was NOT directed or implied to anyone.

OK, I have finally put together a page with some pictures...these pictures are taken straight out of the videos. Remember, I shoot video not stills anymore. Click on the photo that you would like to see the video of, and it will open in a new window. All of these videos are in .mpg format with very little compression. With that being said, some of them are VERY Large downloads, but worth it. Most of the videos are over 10 MB each with the exception of three that are smaller and three that are much larger.

ENJOY!

Here is a list of the videos and file sizes:
01. Adult & Juvy BlueAngel (10.8MB)
02. BlueAngel & Cowfish (10.8MB)
03. Cowfish & 3 Smooth Bellied TrunkFish (5.1MB)
04. One Freaked Out StingRay (30.3MB)
05. Juvy BlueAngel with SquirrelFish watching (4.3MB)
06. 3 Juvy Drums & Yellow TrunkFish.mpg (The trunkfish is very rare) (11.5MB)
07. Juvy French Angel (Very colorful reef) (7.5MB)
08. Up close and personal with a Lobster (10.8MB)
09. A very playful Manta (39.6MB)
10. My snuggling Manta Ray (96.3MB) Really big one
11. Caribbean Reef Shark (10.8MB)
12. SlipperLobsters (4 of them snuggled up) (10.8MB)
13. Slippy on the move (10.8MB)
14. A Souther StingRay out for a Sunday swim ((9.5MB)

Well g/f...we have at least 2 trips set up for next year! The season is long but you can only bank on about 3 months or so to be pretty 'blow-out' free which are June/July/August. Not sure we can pull off a trip this year BUT...we are looking at what we can come up with for possibly this fall IF we can run that late!

But I'm with you....its some awesome diving!

I'm convinced too. FG has been on my list but I just never seem to make it there. I'm definitely gonna have to get out there sooner then later.

Hey I was just talking to ZD about next's years dates....we'll be taking the entire boat next year...32 divers! Woo!!! Hoo!!! That will be awesome. As soon as we can lock the dates down we'll let you know so you ALL can start planning!

Our thought is doing either 4 days or 5 days which is two trips...either Thurs/Fri and Sat/Sun or Sat/Sun & Mon/Tues/Wed or we could do M-F which would be EASY to get the entire boat. Do you all have preference? -ww

You all think that these videos are good, you just wait until I finish my Flower Gardens DVD! :teeth:

Thanks for all the compliments, but I really had little to do with it. I was in the right place at the right time and all of the marine life seem to pose for you.
