Okay, here's a movie I made from yesterdays dives. I know it is huge, but really, if you can stand it the quality is much better the larger file you download. Sorry mac users, I only created a hi-res version of the quicktime format.

28 Meg Windows Movie Format
14 Meg Windows Movie Format
7 Meg Windows Movie Format

27 Meg Quicktime Format

Sweet. When I went to the keys and looked off of a dock all I could see was dozens of huge stingrays. Did you see alot of them also?

Only saw two rays this week. One eagle ray jumping out of the water (probably being chased by a shark), and one southern stingray.

I've collected almost all the fish in my tank. Most carribean coral is not legal to collect.
