BAHAMAS SHARK TRIP, FEB 25: MOUNT OLYMPUS

17:14 - Mount Mokarran was too rough this morning, so we ended up anchoring at
Mount Olympus, a gorgeous reef, by Bahamian standards. It is covered with nice
sea fans and colorful sponges, but unfortunately the visibility was poor (because
of particles in the water and a deep thermocline) so we continued to El Dorado
for the remainder of the afternoon. There are some really large reef sharks at
El Dorado. Jimmy snapped the metal ball off of Anna's Sea & Sea strobe arm mount
during the first dive. Things like mounting balls really should be indestructible!
I don't think my ULCS balls would have been that easy to break off. Anyway, we
tried using the Pasco Fix magic glue that the Austrian guy at the Miami Boat Show
sold us, and the glued-on ball stayed in place for most of the second dive, but
broke again when Anna was adjusting her strobe position. We're going to glue it
again tonight and let it cure all night.

A small 7' one swam circles around Jeremy and only came up for bait a few times

fins, Jeremy says. he even drew an illustration for us.) was off further in the

great hammerheads as long as 18', but this 11-12' specimen was the
