Dave and I both wanted to return to Alligator Reef before the season ended and we returned north. Although the weather was predicted to be great, it was a bit choppy for the long ride down. Few boats around so we picked our spot on the reef. Visibility was great and we encountered lots of eels again as well as large schools of fish - but not to the degree of our first trip. I did have a close encounter with a very large sea turtle. He eyed me warily and then seems to wave me off.

I also got a great video of a parrotfish doing a dance trying to shake off a remora.

The video of the overall dive can be found in the link below.

On our way back home, we stopped at a small patch reef with 1 mooring buoy. I do not know the name, but it was a decent reef with some nice coral, fish and a nurse shark. Visibility was a little stirred up - as it was shallow and exposed to the wind. Turned out to be a decent 2nd dive.
