Turks and Caicos (Boat Cove)

Summary: Sandy bottom, longer distance to the wall. Steepest section of the wall to date with plenty of overhangs for creatures to hide in.  Turn around point is a sandy patch so guidance and distance are very simple.

Things I saw: Nassau Grouper, Lobsters, Trumpet fish, Lion Fish, lots of small tangs and grunts, Angel fish and Parrot Fish, 100s of garden eels (turnaround point).

This was the first dive with my friend David. He was certified a couple days before and so we wanted to do one day of diving actually together.  This dive I stayed shallower to monitor his depth and air consumption. My computer read 87 feet but because of air consumption we were only 40 minutes. As well my starting PSI was 2750 instead of 3000.  We did stay at depth for longer than I had planned for since the overhangs were really cool and a lot of marine action and beautifu
l colours on the coral. If diving this site I would recommend a majority of your diving at the 70 foot mark and perhaps diving below the overhangs when required.  We saw a lot of the standard fish,  at the turn around point I noticed slightly in the distance a bunch of garden eels in the distance. I signalled my buddy over to quickly investigate since this is the first time he has seen an eel.  There were easily hundreds of these eels in this sandy patch between coral.

Lion Fish, Shutter 1/400 F# 4 ISO 150 (probably should have used 100) 

Capturing a photo of these fish are very tough, this is one of my better ones and sadly its not that good.
The colours behind/around the fish are poor but the colour of the fish is very accurate (at least the fish turned out okay!)
