With snowshoeing season over and spring backpacking around the corner, this is a good time to head south for some fun in warm, clear water!

Something’s fishy here! On one of my dives off of the sailboat, I discovered a barracuda and remora (suckerfish) lurking under the boat, each 3-4 feet (1 m) in length. They remained there in spite of my presence and occasionally cruised close to me. For a while, the remora attached itself to the keel of one of the hulls of the boat (upper right pic)! I had more fun near the surface watching these fish than being at the bottom that day! #ocean #scuba #nature
I think they often get fed around boats when fishermen drop off entrails while cleaning fish or some get thrown back or whatever. Even on dive boats people are often spear fishing and such.

It could also be a form of shelter from the sun. The fish I've found under moored boats have tended to be in the shadows. -

Funny! Yeah, all of the barracudas that I have encountered have been very gentle and curious. -

No waterfall today on WaterfallWednesday, but how about a wave crashing over a large rock formation as viewed from underwater? Saw a number of such events while snorkeling around a rocky point last week. Waves were crashing regularly over the rocks--- had to be careful and not get sucked into the swirling chaos of each crash! #ocean #snorkeling #waves

@TimKStanton wow that's green water!

It seemed to have that color in the shallow water with lots of sunlight and reflections from the bottom, but then more blue in deeper water. Either way, a nice contrast from up here in Massachusetts where the “color”’ is just very dark!

I have to admit, it's a bit spooky diving off of a boat in deep water here and going straight down into the darkness without seeing the bottom at first. A faint, eerie image of the bottom eventually emerges out of the darkness.

Thanks. I do consider myself "work in progress" at all times, though. -

Tremendous excitement and thinking on your feet= a kind of joyful terror lol

Performing in front of a live audience-- I admire anyone who can pull that one off! What types of performances? Acting? Music?.... -

Same. I like to celebrate the differences that we all have (ok, I do have some exceptions to that for the leaders at the top). Not a hint of being tedious!! -

Not a hint of being tedious!!@TimKStanton As to leaders, I believe I expect them to be quite different from me in so many aspects of their jobs but as humans it seems there are also wide gaps of shared experience. I expect an expertise in something to do with their job title, for one! SILLY ME, eh?

Music?....@TimKStanton Acting, singing, dancing, also some live music producing where you are by default part of the bodies in front of the audience...aka producer for a small venue that is very hands on so sometimes a greeting from the stage to say what's happening on any given night. No longer, though, all in the past. I'm happily retired, much as I was happily employed when I was employed. Voice acting, operatically trained, musical theatre, tap dancing (I know, it's JOYFUL!), etc.

Agree on all points.
