The Gully, West Caicos

Got to dive this lovely site twice. On the first occasion we were lucky enough to be accompanied by a male reef shark, which hung out with us for ages, swimming close by. The site is also home to a big friendly grouper, who craves attention; he even flips upside down to get his belly tickled. He was quite jealous of the shark, and would make his presence known if he thought I was taking too much notice of the shark and ignoring him.

The second time I dived here there were no sharks (but the grouper seemed pleased to see us), so we explored some more of the site, enjoying the coral-filled wall.


Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at SerenityPhotography.co.uk.
