We were blessed to be able to take a trip to Bermuda this year through Brian's job. The island had some really nice scenery and the water was so clear! Thankfully it was a mostly paid for trip because everything was SO expensive. (A basic lunch for 2 was about 75 bucks!!!) The most interesting thing we did was something called a "Helmet Dive". The pictures speak for themselves, but this fellow who runs it actually has these fish trained where they swim up to you and stay still while posing for pictures. The fish actually let you hold them like a household pet! Just amazing. Here is a really neat video of what it's all looks like and a little history about the Bermuda Helmet Dive.
The fish above is named "Leroy the Grey Snapper". He's a regular visitor and very friendly. The fish below is a hogfish named "Charles IV". Apparently Charles IV doesn't always come around, so when he showed up it was a pretty big deal to Greg (who runs the dive) as he was all wide-eyed and visibly excited when this fish appeared.

Wow! That was neat! I watched the video, that was something! I must say, you two look "marvelous" in your helmets!!:)
Glad you had a fun trip. Loved the pics of you underwater with your big helmets on!
