misc corals with a cool Monti hiding out back there.

Hey Greg,

Whats the thick blue one between the red acro and the horrida? Looks like it has zoos at the base? Its a gorgeous deep blue

Hey Greg, Whats the thick blue one between the red acro and the horrida?

It's this one, actually more purple than blue. Looks purple to the eye but often photographs bluish.

 

[christyf5]

very nice, I'll have to remember it for next time

Don't worry Ed I'm keeping mine. It's a shot I took of my wife diving in Cozumel.

 

[Ed Reef]

Cool picture.... always love your avatar!! That's one huge sea turtle you got there.

I remember back when I was young, giant sea turtle used to come to the beach to lay eggs and we would stay up whole night just waiting for it to happen.... so much fond memories....

 

[Oldude]

Yep that was a big turtle. My wife & I vacation a lot in Puerto Vallarta and have seen turtles hatching and making their way way down the beach to the water. I've had to help a few stragglers that were still left out the next day that would have been eaten or cooked on the sand. A very cool experience.
Here's one of the unlucky ones that never made it.

Many thanks you guys.
