Way down in the lower portion of French Reef is a grotto. Depth here was around 45 feet. I spent a few minutes swimming around chasing fish with the camera and looking at the coral. This was the deepest part of the dive. Afterward, the inst ructor told me that more advanced divers go *through* the grotto. Its big enough but not so big that I even considered it for a heartbeat on my second dive ever . This attempt at underwater photography is about 3/4 of the way through the div e (and the roll of film). Camera is a Sea&Sea UW. Film is Kodak Gold 200. It was great fun. I have no idea what sort of fish is depicted, if you know please tell me. Sea and Sea Underwater camera with flash. Kodak Gold film. f/5.6? French Reef is in the National Marine Sanctuary, off the coast of Florida near Key Largo.
