New Dive Pictures
 
All the following pictures were taken while diving last week in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
The water temp was 86 F, visibility 60-80 ft+ with the reefs full of sea life.
I love it there!
Thanks for looking, enjoy.

First let's start with some Stone Fish - True Masters of Disguise.

When diving with these guys around one must be careful where you put your hands.

It was often hard to get good pictures because there were fish fry everywhere and they would get in the way.

Here is some babies hanging around the protective spines of some urchins

When I first saw Gorgonians like this I thought it was interesting they seemed to have stripes

But upon closer inspection they were just swarmed with Brittle Stars
