Wednesday 1/26: Alice in Wonderland and Andrea 1, night dive
Back south today. Alice in Wonderland features a double reef system, which goes on for quite a while and encompasses several dive sites. The first reef is 30-50 feet then a large sand patch between, and the second reef is from 80-110 feet or so. The double reef system gave it some interesting topography.
Andrea 1 is just north of Buddy Dive. We went there because it is usually very dependable for seeing squid, but we only saw a couple.
This is where the dives start to run together. They are all fantastic, but I can't remember anything really memorable about these, except the double reef at the first dive site.
We went for an early dinner to Captain Don's next door and had pizza, so we could be digested for our night dive. The night dive was awesome, just as advertised! We had tarpon with us the whole time. But they weren't too hungry yet, they followed fish, but didn't really try to catch any. Jim and I both got a kick out of the trumpet fish. They sleep vertically in the sea fans and corals for camoflauge. There were a LOT of them out there. Very neat dive. Got cold though. Should have brought my hood.
