Mermaid’s Lair aka Mermaid lair
Ambergris Caye, Belize
Water Type: Salt
Entry Type: Boat
Several bright green moray eels; lion fish; a ton of curios and friendly nurse sharks; and a few colorful parrotfish. Lots of different types of coral: fan, stag horn, brain, tube, etc. We dove with Ecologic Divers from San Pedro and the Dive Master of our other group (we had two groups of four/five) speared a lion fish and then waved it around in front of a nurse shark until the nurse shark took it. A little later, the same DM was trying to spear another lion fish and several nurse sharks kept getting in his way and scared the fish away. If it wouldn’t have taken air, I would’ve laughed out loud, instead I just smiled. :-)
