We also went fishing while in PV and we caught 6 small (Dorados') Mahi Mahi - threw one back, gave the captain 4 to feed his family & kept one to have for lunch. I can't believe we ate the whole thing! It was incredible!

Here my wife's first catch of the day.


Fix Box by 9:00 AM


Fix Box by 11:00 AM


The one we kept - (before)


After the boat Capt filletted it for us. (after surgery)


Plate of fish after the restaurant got them ready to cook. They prepared & cooked the fish with all the "fixens" for only 70 pesos per person (less than $5 Can)


Ready to start the lunch feast.

I thought I heard these damsels yelling to these tangs - "ok we've got you surrounded"


More King Angel pix




Snowflake Moray


Juvenile Drum Fish and a few scooter blenny sort of things


I suspect these are some sort of cardinal or something




More pix to follow soon.

Beautiful pics! Not going to lie, that picture of your $5 lunch made me very hungry

Thanks. I just did some calculating on an actual calculator and 70 pesos is actually closer to $5.55 so it was still under 12 bucks for the two of us.
It was delicious! Grilled, soaked in garlic butter with a nice squeeze of lime - MMMMM Yum!

My local dive buddy Lorenzo caught himself dinner. He has quick hands & grabbed this trigger by the tail and carried it around for the approximately 20 minutes we had remaining on that dive. He says they're good eating.


Pocillopora colony


Encrusting coral


another Nudibranch - looks like it likes to eat fans


reef point jutting out for a cool silhouette shot


Gorg & Sponge


I thought the way the light was shining rather ghostly made for a cool shot.


A splash of color that I think looks cool even though much of it's a little out of focus


Stubby red & purple NPS gorgs - not sure what they orange spotted thing is.
I only noticed it in the picture but missed it while actually diving. (I wasn't wearing my bifocal mask)


Arrow crab (if you look close you see a lot of these in this area)

These may be very very juvenile porkfish

Also, he was right about the giant hawkfish a couple pages back, cool to have seen as they are fairly rare
