A little Palm Beach variety

Here are a handful of images taken recently in Palm Beach, Florida:

Small-tooth saw fish (rare sighting)

Dome-eating juvenile green sea turtle

Bumblebee shrimp on a sea star

Amazing the number of critters in West Palm.

Great finds Laz!

Todd

Wow - love that sawfish. What a great find.

Alex

Good stuff Laz! Love that sawfish as well. Do you have any shots of the kemps ridleys you posted about? Would love to see them.

Cheers

James

Seen sawfish in the more brackish waters of the Everglades, but never in open water, cool!

nice - I'll make sure I get a few dives in at Palm Beach next time I'm on the Shearwater

Excellent images, Laz. I especiallly love the sawfish photo!

I'm definitely no turtle expert, but I think these two images are of Kemp's Ridley turtles from last week in West Palm. Kinda made the 6-8 foot seas and the "cold" 71 degree water worth the effort:

Nice job Laz! The Sawfish is a rare shot indeed....KUDOS!

Yep, you are absolutely right. That is a Kemp's Ridley turtle. Great find and photos, Doug. Where did you see it?

Thanks for the nice compliments, everyone.

Laz --

The turtle shots are from Mid Reef right near Spearman's Barge.

Nice work! I hear the water temps have really dropped off in PB. I heard they were down to 62-65, is that true?

Again great work, I hope we can meet up for a dive soon.

Mark

That must have caught your attention...
