For 30 years, I’ve been feeding fish. It’s one of my favorite things to do while diving. I try on almost every dive. I’m successful maybe 75% of the time.

Surprisingly, I’ve found that all fish do not like the same food and some won’t eat the same thing two days in a row. It can be super frustrating and highly rewarding. Often on the same dive.

I’ve found what you offer makes a difference. How you offer it makes a difference. When you try makes a difference. Where you try matters. And some days, no matter what you do the fish won’t bite.
