The seabed was completely covered, have no clue how deep the shells were. I don't know whether they were dead or alive. There were fishermen in the area and I think they were cleaning out conch shells. Didn't think to ask.

I had a bit of conch for dinner last night and did not like it at all!

I used to tell students not to ride turtles or they'll drop their eggs.

Thanks everyone!

One thing I forgot to mention was after we got back to the dock, Jason went back to our room to grab something, I waited on the dock. I was watching the fish and noticed a "stick" that seemed to be moving. Finally figured out what it was, a fairly large orange seahorse. He was grazing for food and just chillin out! That was not something I expected to see at all. I watched him as long as I could, he moved under the dock and out of sight. As we didn't have a camera, I couldn't take a pic. Pretty cool though!

The "guide" handling the nurse shark should be showing an example and NOT holding the shark, this just is wrong, look but don't touch anything!!!!!!

Awesome pictures and looks like you had fun!!
