Another Coronet Fish at Folly Cove!
Last night's dive with my husband, John, and our friend, Tom Conway,
proved to be most eventful again, with yet another sighting of a Coronet
Fish! This one was smaller than the first one we saw last week. I did
manage to get some pictures (and to think I almost left the camera in
the car!). We were all excited underwater to see yet another one of
these rare fish.
We also started off the dive with a very active horseshoe crab--the
critter was moving around so quickly I had a hard time getting a photo
of it--but I did. Right after the horseshoe crab, we bumped into a
very active lady crab, who also was not interested in getting her
photo taken, but it did. And the rest of the evening dive was spent
dodging squid! They were everywhere, large ones and small ones.
At one point, Tom had a huge school of them all around him, in his face,
under his arms, everywhere around him. It was truly an awesome evening
dive.
For those of you who shun the cooler water this time of year, or who think
there's nothing left to see, get out there--there's plenty of stuff left swimming
aroung. The water is still 54 degrees.....
