Pix from recent dives on the reefs in Guayacanes for those interested. Some backscatter on some of them but can't do anything with it. Don't worry about copyright violations, I will not take DR1 to court.

I came across two lobsters, the first one here was chasing the other one out of the cave.

Fish..

OK folks, no fish yesterday so today I decided to go to another reef. These are all from the same reef, all from this morning except the Whitespotted Filefish from a couple of months back.

Here we go..........

Is this off Juan Dolio on east of Santo Domingo? Carribean Sea tends to have better coral etc than the Atlantic side.

Great Pics Do you have any on the North Coast ?

Thanks, Thor. I never tire of such pics. I wish I was certified to make such dives; I would love to. My son is, and he's contemplating diving in the DR when we come down next month.

great pics!!! One of my favorite snorkeling days was when i was out on a reef. I am checking out this "rock" and then it blinked at me!!! lordy...it scared the bejesuz out of me!!!

I have been trying to find this spot in guyacannes for ages...as i am usually in boca chica and the snorkeling there is pretty bad as the reef is pretty much dead and guyacannes is just down the road.

Shoot me a pm if you could with directions. Tho lord only knows when i can afford to travel back :-(
