Barracuda Circle Dive Guide

Roatan, Belize is an amazing location for scuba diving and snorkelling. Located on the eastern coast of Central America and south of Mexico it is bordered also by the Caribbean Sea. Offshore, the massive Belize Barrier Reef, dotted with hundreds of low-lying islands called cayes, is home to an extremely rich marine life. Sea turtles of varying types, Moray eels, as well as a number of types of rays are also found along the reef. On this dive in the video, Brent and his wife Elsa had stopped in Roatan, Belize while on a Caribbean cruise. Both being avid scuba divers from Vancouver, British Columbia they enjoy diving in the clear warm tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea. Drifting along the reef with their dive guide ahead, Brent took note of two barracuda making their way towards the guide. Keeping an eye and a camera pointed in their direction it was definite that the two barracuda were heading towards and circling the guide. Being an aggressive species of predatory fish with massive teeth, they can be dangerous. Their guide also saw the barracuda coming close and circling her so she as well kept an eye on them as you can see by her body language. Once clear, the guide then notices another amazing sea creature very close. Knowing Brent loves to see the larger animals, she makes motion of the animal by waving her arms in a "flying" type display. Right away Brent knew what was being pointed out to him and swam in the direction the guide was pointing. Ahead was a massive spotted eagle ray, one of the most beautiful rays in the sea. Almost appearing frozen approximately 50 feet from Brent, the ray appeared to be waiting for him to get close enough to shoot some great video footage. The ray surely had Brent in its views because as he arrived closer, the ray made a move towards the distant shelter of deeper waters. "What an amazing dive it was" both Brent and Elsa exclaimed.
