We did our last dive at Southwest Breaker yesterday, but it ended on a high thanks to Ondrej telling us about “Charlie”.

Charlie is a Yellow-tailed DamselFish that lives in a spent Artillery shell that the Americans used to fire at Southwest Breaker for target practice. I won’t get into how I feel about the Yanks using a millions of years old formation for target practice…

Anyway, Charlie is a very aggressive (I can attest that he bites) and very houseproud little fish. If you put a small stone on top of his home and make him aware of it, he throws it away into the reef.

The video below shows Jules playing with him on what was her 200th Dive in Bermuda. Thank you Ondrej for drawing us a map so we could find him.
