This is sponge coral and it is very rare to get the light just right to color like this.

It is very rare to see this kind of color in the coral. Usually you have to dive at dusk or at night and use lights to see all the real color in the coral.

The Coral is all dying or dead throughout the Caribbean. This was a real treat to see such vibrant living Coral.

The colors are so vivid in the fish and the coral that the camera had a hard time dealing with it.

This is what we saw it is not doctored.

This is thunderball cave at Staniel Cay in the Exuma Island chain.

This is the groto where 2 James Bond films where filmed. Never Say Never and Never say Never Again. James came through the hole in the roof and droped down into this cave.

The Proof...........Not Just a Fish Story
Terry
03/03/2008, Rum Cay

Whenever we do a deep water ocean crossing I like to drag all my fishing gear. On our trip from Long Island to Rum Cay I lost all my good lures. They all got cut off.....This is not uncommon if you dont use steel leader and you get hit with Wahoo. Well I lost all my "bait" so I pulled out one of my Tuna rigs. These rigs are made for dragging Ballyhoo(a small fish as bait) and a colorfull skirt slides over the head of the Ballyhoo. Problem.....I had no Ballyhoo but these were all I had to throw over, so I threw only one line over thinking it was a waste of time. The first thing I caught was a Marlin. These are catch and release Trophy fish that people spend big money to "try" and catch but most never do. The second fish I caught was this Dolphin (not that kind of Dolphin). We fed 8 people with 1/4 of this fish that night!


The Photo was taken at our Anchorage at Rum Cay Note the Clear water and coral heads all around us.
