Day Seven: Spawning and Feeding

We set BRUVs again this morning with a snorkel while we were waiting. We saw a big nurse shark while we were snorkeling and some cool fish. Then we set another bunch before lunch and found thousands of spawning dog snapper so we jumped in for a real quick snorkel hoping to see a manta a manta or a whale shark. No luck but the fish were awesome. After lunch we set a long line, fished for bait, and only caught a stingray. Unfortunately, the weather was too iffy for a night fish again. We fed all of the leftover and old bait to the frigate birds, which was a lot of fun.

On today’s BRUVs we saw the world’s fastest porcupine fish, a bunch of eels and stingrays, and one nurse shark.

Tomorrow is our last day, so lots of fishing (and snorkeling!) to try to find some sharks!
