On a night dive we were accompanied by some very large tarpon.  They actually follow divers around the reef at night and use the divers underwater lights to catch smaller fish.  We have entered the food chain!

And here I am diving the wreck of the Hilma Hooker.  I went down on the Hooker!!  This wreck was intentionally sunk here in 1984 as an artificial reef.  The ship was abandoned nearby and the crew dissapeared.  Thousands of bales of marijuana were found behind a fake bulkhead in the wreck.  Since no one claimed the ship they sank it as an artificial reef!
