The photo we posted yesterday was a close-up of the skin of a nurse shark. It looks like a mosaic of tiny different colored pebbles - beige, tan, black and grey. We think it's very cool.

What do you think this is? It's a fairly common marine creature you can see when diving in Cancun. Sometimes it's chilling out on the reef and other times it swimming out in the open going about its important business.

Comment with your answer (guess) below and check back tomorrow for the answer.

Join us every morning for 2 tank dives on the outside reefs or every afternoon for 1 tank at the famous MUSA and a 2nd tank at the Manchones reef.

Drum roll please as we show you the three types of juvnenile (we rarely see the adults) drum fish you can see here in Cancun.

The most commonly seen is the juvenile spotted drum, is easy to recognize with its unbelievably long dorsal and tail fins that swirl as the fish dances in the current.

Next, is the juvenile high-hat which has horizontal stripe and a dorsal fin that is much longer than its tail fin.

Lastly, the jackknife has a tail fin that is longer than its dorsal fin and a fine yellow stripe along the outer edge of the dorsal fin.

All of these tiny juvenile drum fish are wonderful to see and will mesmerize you with their endless dancing (survival skill), but will frustrate the heck out of you when trying to film or photograph them.

Join us any day of the week for a snorkel tour to the world famous Underwater Museum (MUSA) and a coral reef. Float in the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean and be awed by the coral growing on the statues, the beautiful angelfish, and smile at the feisty damselfish.
