Today we headed out to the offshore patch reefs. It was a rough ride, and unfortunately the water didn't clear up for us at all. We dove in depths from 25-32 feet and we were able find some fish to shoot, but it wasn't an easy task. When we finally found them, we had to dive pretty much all the way to the bottom, just to find them. Then you had to take advantage and shoot what you saw or could chase in one breath. There wasn't any following the biggest one from the surface today!

The seas weren't much help today either. There were times the waves were easily in the 2-4 foot range. All that bobbing around along with the dirty water made for a couple of bouts with vertigo. Luckily, nothing we couldn't shake off. At least we got to go out and shoot some fish. Like I always say, no matter how bad it gets, it's still better than being at work!
