In December, 2013, Dr. Steele, Dr. Willis, and Linda team up again to embark on another World Vets spay/neuter project. This time, we're headed off to San Andres Island, Colombia to help with critter overpopulation and disease control on the island. Follow along on our adventures!

Another diving day!

Hola!!  Today Mama, Sandy and Leslie were joined by Nichole on another diving adventure.  I stayed with the vehicle to keep it safe while they perused the depths, and not so deep, wonders of the Caribbean! 

The first dive started along a reef then on to a wreck!  All of these photos are compliments of Leslie (just call her Jacques!) and they are fabulous!  She took a few hundred photos during the dives, so I could enjoy the sites (this little Woofie does NOT swim or dive!) AND all of you can enjoy the special sites, too!  Naturally I can only post a few of the wonderful pics, but Leslie and Mom have many more, if you are interested.

The wreck was a military (?) ship that went down about 20 years ago.  It is amazing how the coral and ocean life is using it as a foundation for an entire little ecosystem. 

This little school of fish look like they are enjoying looking at the strange "fish" blowing bubbles in there home... just like any other curious creature!

Lion Fish.  These are very beautiful, very poisonous and very invasive.  The government actually has permits to kill these because they are killing the native sea life.

The divers went through short caves and under reef shelves to get a different perspective.

The jury is out on whether this is a sea snake (there are not supposed to be any in the Caribbean) or a snake eel.  It moves on the ocean bottom just like a snake!
