I returned to the United Caribbean for another dive. The blue water was in and viz. good at around 70 ft. or so. Headed out with Parrot Scuba this time.
![]() Captain Jerry is getting things sorted out to leave the dock. ![]() The first dive was on the wreck of the United Caribbean. ![]() Even though I have only been it twice it is turning into my favorite wreck for scooter free diving. It is pretty shallow at 70 ft. with two interesting pieces of wreckage including a bow and stern section that are still fairly intact. ![]() There are some intriguing confined space areas to checkout like this compartment in the bow section. ![]() There was a large goliath grouper on the wreck this time adding to local color. ![]() ![]() ![]() I carried a couple of GoPro cameras on a Quikpod Monopod to capture things fore and aft as I passed through sections of the wreck. ![]() Moving over to the stern section. ![]() Running down some passageways in the wreck. ![]() There is the grouper again ![]() ![]() Fish do like wrecks ![]() ![]() It does get bright nearer the surface ![]() Comparing the size of the stern section to the grouper, that is a big fish! ![]() I have never though of nurse sharks as being particularly patient but this guy put up with two close passes overhead, almost. He moved on during the second pass. ![]() Passing by the first time, the shark decided to hang out. ![]() Another view of the stern section, at the point of separation from the rest of the ship. ![]() Getting "exhausted" ![]() A reef shark came by to check me out on the second dive. Had a similar scenario a while back on another second dive. The shark first checked out the scuba divers, then moved over to me and then just faded away. I couldn't find either shark again after the first sighting. ![]() ![]() ![]() Time to surface, sharks can make you extend your bottom time to try to allow a better look! ![]() Time to board and head in. ![]() Heading back through the inlet, nice dives yet again! .
