Weird Wildlife (marine style)

We've been spending a lot of time underwater the past week.  Paul and I were thrilled to see three mimic octopus and a pair of seahorses last week.   If you've never seen mimic octopus it's worth Googling it.  We saw two do a sea snake routine.  Our seahorse couple appeared to be pregnant So that was pretty cool.We were also able to snorkel a wrecked  ship which sounds cooler than it is.  We also saw four species of lion fish and a scorpion fish. On another outing we swam with at least six small sharks.  On our last trip they took us to see Manta rays.  We saw two,one at least 15 ft across.  We also saw two 6-7 ft sharks.  Very few things could distract us from such large sharks, but the mantas sure did.   It was a series of truly amazing experiences.  Sorry no pics.
