Fallen trees clog up the entrance, which is a long, narrow crack. The cave is over 120 feet deep.

This massive Weeki Wachee mom has all the telltale scars from too many run ins with boat propellers.
Unfortunately, the calf has already got a few marks of it's own.

Underwater cameras tend to fog up, which I usually avoid by sticking a couple SeaLife brand Moisture Munchers inside the housing.
These are easy to use over and over by sealing the saturated ones in a small container of Damp-Rid to recharge. (After a while, they're good as new)
However, on this particular endeavor, my lens fogged up, and I could barely see anything in the viewfinder.
But, when something you've never seen before, pops out and presents itself, you improvise, adapt and overcome.
At the time, I was not only wondering what kind of ray this was, but also, why it was being so cooperative and allowing me several chances to dive down and pass over it.
Luckily, I was able to frame the shots, with more or less good results.
Thanks to Reef Fish Identification Humann/Deloach) and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute-
Shorefishes of the Greater Caribbean online information system for the identification.
Maybe 14 to 37 volts isn't that bad, but I'm in no hurry to find out.

Seen here at Liverpool's Norton Street Coach Station are these two Volvo B9R/Caetano Levante's, both working on their contracted National Express routes.
For a calf, this little one isn't exactly pint sized, but compared to Mama up close, it's still got a ways to go.

After a few months of careful planning, a rather disappointing "wet" run, and constantly checking the reef cam, I finally got a chance to check out this awesome artificial reef again. This time, the conditions were much better, and I was pleasantly surprised to see just what I've been missing, within seconds of reaching the first string of reef units.
This one had at least three huge sharksuckers on board... I wonder what kind of rent it charges?

These old pilings in Blue Cove make great perches for the locals, although on this occasion the water level was much higher and many were submerged.

One of the bigger Longnose Gar takes me on a tour of some of the good spots along the spring run. The Longnose knows...
There are plenty of fallen logs, undercut strainers along the bank and ledges for things to hide from the crowds.

This particular cormorant certainly isn't camera shy: from diving right beside me, to taking up a perch right above us and posing like a professional...
"That's it, own the camera- there it is, glance off screen, use the light...hat's the stuff- work it"
