A big nurse shark gets some rest while wedged into a crevice connected to one of the many 'potholes' formed in the limestone on the reef. With it's tail hanging out the back end, and it's head peeking out the front, it wasn't very well hidden, but when you get to be this big, I guess you don't have to worry about hiding so much anymore, but it's nice to get out of the current.Lauderdale by the Sea, Broward County, Florida, U.S.A.SeaLife DC1400Explore Jul 19, 2014 #91
I would think this particular spot wouldn't be so popular, what with all those pesky lobster and urchins around, but what do I know?Nurse Shark Ginglymostoma cirratumScout Key Monroe County Florida, USAOlympus OM-D E-M5 Mark IIOlympus 14-42mm II R LensPT-EP13 Underwater Housing, PPZR-EP02 Lens Port & 14-42mm Zoom GearSea Life Cameras Sea Dragon 1200 & 2000 Underwater Light
Of course, fisherman complain about waiting for the fish to bite, and I might gripe about "waiting on the hook" on a crash scene, but this takes it to a whole new level. Who knows how long this Nurse Shark will have to carry this around until it rusts or breaks free.Nurse SharkGinglymostoma cirratumWahoo KeyMonroe County, FloridaSeaLife DC1400Sea Dragon 2000 Photo/Video/Dive Light
This secret rock is almost always a good spot to creep up on a snoozing nurse shark or two. I would think all those urchins and bugs in there would be annoying, but then again, I guess that's what that tough skin is for.
