Stepping off the edge

Owlmother's adventures

Picking up where I left off… kinda

I started a blog called Stepping off the Edge when I left my comfortable middle class and middle age life in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and headed to Adelaide, Australia to return to school in 2012.

For 8 years I blogged about events in my life…family weddings, birth of grandkids, travel. I no longer own the email address associated with that blog so couldn’t continue, hence starting over in this space.

So I picked up where I left off with our trip in fall 2024 to Europe and will continue with India and the Maldives .

Finding Nemo

We’ve seen many amazing and colourful fish diving around the world and especially in Cozumel, including Clown Fish like Nemo.

Some fish swim solo and some swim in schools.

It was difficult to photograph this trip as the currents were strong so we were drifting. I have too many photos of my fellow divers or fish at bad angles.

I did get some decent photoes though. Here are some of the fish I was able to photograph.

French Angel Fish
Sargent Major
The Spendid Toad Fish, only in Cozumel
Trunk Fish
Yellowstriped Goatfish
Trumpet Fish swimming over a Damsel Fish
Butterfly Fish
Schools of various fish
File Fish
Queen Ángel Fish
Black Durgeon and Angel Fish
Lion Fish – pretty but invasive
Blue Tang, also Dory
Lizard Fish
Angel Fish

On our first dive, when I didn’t bring my camera, we saw a huge Puffer Fish and a Barracuda. I didn’t get a photo of the large Nurse Shark that swam under us as we surfaced one of the dives. Nor did I get a clear shot of the juvenile and adult black and white Drum Fish.

Next time!
