Everyone knows to keep your flippers off the floor, but in this Greenies defense, those pesky hangers-on probably throw off your groove.Green Sea TurtleChelonia mydasSharksuckerEcheneis naucratesNavarre Beach Marine ParkNavarre Beach Marine SanctuaryGulf of Mexico Reef SiteNavarre Beach, Santa Rosa County, Florida, USAOlympus OM-D E-M5 14-42mm II Lens PT-EP08 Underwater Housing, PPO-EP01 Lens Port

After a few months of careful planning, a rather disappointing "wet" run, and constantly checking the reef cam, I finally got a chance to check out this awesome artificial reef again. This time, the conditions were much better, and I was pleasantly surprised to see just what I've been missing, within seconds of reaching the first string of reef units. This one had at least three huge sharksuckers on board... I wonder what kind of rent it charges?Green Sea TurtleChelonia mydasNavarre Beach Marine ParkNavarre Beach Marine SanctuaryGulf of Mexico Reef SiteNavarre Beach, Santa Rosa County, Florida, USAOlympus OM-D E-M5 14-42mm II Lens PT-EP08 Underwater Housing, PPO-EP01 Lens Port
