Fowl Reef, stretches quite far and ranges from twenty feet to forty. On the edge, is the depth of sixty feet where the Nurse Shark hangs about. Once the tide is low, than the reef becomes one large sand bed, to tourists known as the Jacuzzi Reef. You’ll have the breath taking experience of being surrounded by yellow tail fish, groupers, angelfish, parrot fish, green turtles (video) barracuda and Reef and Nurse Shark’s, amongst the coral and many more.
On Thursday, we had gone out with a dive company called Above and Below Abaco. The water temperature was 74.5 degree’s, which was considered cold to Bahamian’s. The depth of the water, the chop and surf, intimidated me. I did get in the water, but it wasn't long before I was back in the boat. This left Ted without a buddy. Kay, owner of the dive shop was testing a young man for his first of four open water dives. Kristen, employee of Above and Below (also Bahamian) wasn't equiped with a suit to go snorkelling with Ted. Therefore, he was invited to swim above Kay and James the student being tested.

It killed Ted not to be able to dive to the depths of the divers. More than once he took a deep breath and dove to twenty feet and surprised Kay with pictures etc. This was when he was greeted by the Nurse Shark. Keep scrolling down the pages and we will try to post as many photo's as possible. Tried to post the turtles video but unfortunately not supported with this blog software.

Hi folks, you two are sure doing it right and were so happy for you both. The pictures tell a thousand words and they are beautiful.keep a good eye on those sharks when you guys are snorkeling, it looks fun and scary, but very cool! You both look great and in your glory. The weather here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada is -22 with wind chill and sunny, burr...! Enjoy that warm weather and keep safe.
