Even later in the day . . . I did 16 dives this week, which brings my running total up to 713 (over 41 years as of 15 May 2016). Porcupinefish Hairy clinging crab (Mithrax pilosus) Brindled burrfish Hawksbill sea turtle THE LARGEST Channel clinging crab (Mithrax spinosissimus) I have ever seen! This monster was at least TWO FEET ACROSS. A/K/A: King Crab, Reef Spider Crab, Coral Crab The turtle, channel clinging crab & spotted burrfish were all 1, 2, 3 on the last dive of the week. After spotting the burrfish, and someone else spotting the turtle, I made a 360, as I often do, and from 20 feet away, I could see a pincer lying across the reef. At first I was sure it was an optical illusion, but as I closed in I realized it was a claw, and it was attached to a live crab. Different Spotted moray eel Nurse shark, not to be confused with grey nurse shark or tawny nurse shark The trip as it ended on Wednesday night. The numbers represent moorings (dive sites). We departed from TURTLE COVE MARINA, dove around West Caicos, French Cay and ended at the CAICOS MARINA AND SHIPYARD (see map following) HAYDEE MEDINA: Me and Carolina - we are fascinated . . . amazing fish pictures!! TONI BONNEY: Cheers on the dive record. Remarkable. Oh, those are beautiful sites.
