A few "more" dive pics from the Turks and Caicos

[quarryshark]

A few dive photo's from our vacation last week in the Turks and Caicos. The Groupers were huge and everywhere, this one was a good 3 feet.
The Sharks (Carribean Reef and Blacktips) would swim up the wall on almost every dive to check us out.....too cool. We even had a Hammerhead give us a flyby one day, of course I was out of film.

A male and female Whitespotted Filefish, a reef shot with a bunch a Chromis and a swimthrough leading to one of the "walls', dropoffs that start at 40-60 feet and drop down vertically to 7000 feet.

Such awesome pics! You're very lucky to have seen the ocean like that! I like the chromis and the royal grammas the best, but they're all great...that lobster is neat too!

Thomas,
The Turks and Caicos are part of the Caribbean Islands.

This island group is not too well known, thats why I like to go there...no crowds and the reefs are pristine.

OK, a few more. These are Flying Gurnards. I was told a pretty rare find in the Carribean. They were cute, just scooted along the bottom like a Dragonette picking at the sand.
