Turtleman - Greg Smith

First, my background,I have been scuba diving since 1976 and made numerous trips to Cozumel, and Cancun as a diver, later even more trips as a scuba instructor. I had numerous saltwater and Reef aquariums and have done tons of self research on all kinds of aquatic life. My point, while no formal education on marine biology, I had a pretty good working knowledge of the reef.

Enter Greg Smith, a local Belizean, who has 27 years in the area. I was fortunate enough to play in his back yard and he was a most gracious host.

Misc Corals

Most of these shots would not make my "keep" list, but it is all I have of this dive trip. Hopefully next trip, I can bring my own underwater photography equipment and improve the quality. These pictures were furnished as part of my dive package, and a nice touch. Thanks for understanding.
