Dive off Anclote Key April 25, 2015

Tim Metcalf and I had a very good dive on a very long ledge we found about 5 miles off Anclote Key today in 28 to 33 ft of water.  We could see the bottom below us as soon as we splashed.  Lots of small hogfish, lots of all kinds of other fish and a very large Loggerhead Sea Turtle.  To see many more pictures from this dive please go to:

Here's a few pictures from our dive.
 I shot a selfie at the beginning of our dive to adjust my strobe angle and happened to catch Tim's boat on the surface 32 feet above us in the background.
 We do get some extremely colorful tropical Caribbean butterfly fish on our ledges off Central West Coast Florida.
 A nice sized Hogfish.  I was very happy to see dozens and dozens of juvenile hogfish on our dive.
 A large Loggerhead Sea Turtle being disturbed from his attempt to take a nap under the ledge.
 See the remoras or sucker fish to the left of the sea turtle.
 Loggerheads have enormous heads and really big beaks and I was relieved that he didn't get to irritated with me.

 Can you see the cowfish in the foreground of the photo under Tim?
