Second Scuba Dive

I did my second scuba dive today and it was possibly even better than the first.  The first time was full of beautiful coral and fish.  This dive was a different part of the reef and the Whitsunday Magic is one of only 2 boats who have a licensed to feed the fish which is a huge deal.  So, on our second dive if I thought that there were a lot of fish on the first dive it was nothing compared with this one.   Terry, our dive instructor had us kneel on the bottom as he released fish food everywhere.  It was wall to wall fish - of every kind.  We saw this huge fish they have affectionately named Elvis -- a big grouper who was blue and green with big lips -- a HUGE fish – he ate fish food out of my hand.  At one point we were kneeling on the ocean floor in the center of what looked like a huge circling cylinder of fish.  Blue fish, yelllow fish, Black and white fish, green fish, red fish, flat fish, round fish - an amazing array.   It was so amazing and overwhelming that I ended up using up my air faster - I actually had to switch out tanks.  I had a great time and its a memory that I will always have -- also hopefully I'll get a few pictures out of it - will have to wait and see.     

Here are the pictures, unfortunately they didn't come very well at all but here's one of Elvis - you can get some sense of how big he is....
