      For sure the grouper is in charge of that reef and approves of any "goings on "!

      Please keep in mind that we didn't get ALL that on one dive. There isn't enough time in a dive. We combine multiple dives into one "dive" because nobody wants to see us going in and out of the water 5 times.

    I really like you telling how the fish interacted with you. I often find that fish will interact with me and are curious when I am snorkelling in fresh water. There is a lot more to fish than most people think!

    I remember when I was a kid back in the early 2000s, I read this book about sharks that introduced nurse sharks with the sentence "You wouldn't have one of these taking care of you in the hospital in your wildest dreams." Funnily enough, I recently found out that the Aquarium in Atlanta lets veterans who were medically discharged dive in their giant shark tank for free, and that the Soldier Rehabilitation Center here at Fort Benning occasionally has their patients take trips up to Atlanta to swim with, and possibly even feed and pet (I'm not sure how true that part is), their sharks. So shark therapy for those with trauma, depression, and anxiety is in fact a thing.

    This must indeed be one of the best scuba places on the planet, for all you mentioned: especially the clearest water, very healthy reefs, and the associated diversity of life!
    Let's hope all divers and Belizians contribute to the continuation of such a precious spot on Earth.
    What a way to be able to enjoy this from my home, having the Blue World team as companions with their humor, their expert knowledge, video editing and music, and enthusiasm all around.
