Location: BAHAMAS


I was diving on the bahama banks, 18 miles from the exuma islands. We were diving in 35-40ft of water. The visiblity that days was aproximately 40 ft, the current was fairly mild. We were diving large coral heads on the bank. I saw the fish come up and swim behind one of the coral heads. I was able to dive down and get a clean shot on the fish with my carbon fiber pole spear.
