My brother is visiting so he joined Dave and me on a trip to Molasses Reef on a beautiful day with dead calm seas and good visibility and most important, no current! We were able to get back to Buoy #18, which is a part of the reef that seems to have recovered best from Hurricane Irma . We also found the caves in this area again. I did have a close encounter with a reef shark as I cruise the area. I sensed his presence and looked left and raised my camera as it came swimming right toward me and passed a few feet in front of me.
We did our 2nd dive at the very SW end of the reef. Heading W of the mooring ball leads to lots of towering coral formations and large schools of fish.
