Second Day Diving In Belize

Our first dive was Sandy Point just Sven, me and the Dive Master. We saw two big sea turtles. Also got to see some Eagle Rays - three! :) The second turtle had a Remora fish that decided we were better to remove parasites from than the turtle. At first I thought he was cute, like a puppy - that's their demeanor, then - he bit me on the knee! OUCH -- Not to worry though, Sven and the Dive Master both got bitten as well. The Remora turned out to be quite a pest and we spent most of the dive fighting him off instead of paying attention to the surrounding life.

Our second dive we picked up some more divers and headed to Esmerelda. Once there, Matt used some chum to call in 10 nurse sharks. He caught one, turned it over and let us all pet it's belly. SO COOL! Then the Groupers smelled the bait and started coming around, too. There was one almost as big as me! The rest of the dive was pretty uneventful - saw a sea turtle - at least I wasn't bitten by the Nurse Shark or Remora! :)
