Blackbird Caye Sunrise
Blackbird Cay Resort is a fine scuba destination. Comfortable cabins a few steps from the water, good food for all 3 meals per day. Very short boat rides to a variety of reefs, and a day trip to The Blue Hole and Half Moon Caye. Pelicans diving all day.
We went for a night dive right off the resort, and I was beside the reef, getting ready to photograph a sleeping parrotfish, when I got about 6 whacks in 1.5 seconds. Bonefish (fast predacious fish about 2 feet long) had been confused by my light, and they swam right at it. About 6 hit me, but most slammed into the reef, knocking themselves silly. About a dozen were on the sand beside the reef, but within 20 seconds they revived and moved away. The divemaster was about 15 feet above me, and he saw the whole thing--he said he had never seen anything like it.
