Vacation Report 3

I've been exhausted. I've barely slept, the weather has been intensely sunny and hot (except early in the mornings when it pours rain) and I've been diving my ass off.

Something feels...off...down there. The effects of the lionfish invasion have had a pretty dramatic impact. Slow moving fish who don't breed prolifically and hang out in the coral heads have been thinning out. Common, but important fish like wrasses. I have noticed an explosion in fishes like triggerfish and filefish. I'm not sure what thats about: they don't seem to have a taste for lionfish.

Anyway, here's some pretty pictures I took.
