In Devil's grotto Horse-eye Jacks

An inquisitive Blenny coming out of his hole to check me out. His little "antennas" were bending in the moderate current.

We followed this little guy for a good 5 minutes, and the best photo was as we let him swim away.

Octopus shot from a night dive.

Tok 10-17, Canon T2i @ Lost Wall of East End, Grand Cayman

This was taken on my first night dive. It looks like an anemone but I'm not sure it is. I've never seen one during the day. It retracted into a tube like christmas tree worm if disturbed. They are very pretty.

Taken at Stingray Sandbar in the early morning hours. Tok 10-17; Canon T2i; natural light.

ZEN
My favourite place at dawn. The famous Sandbar (close to Stingray City) in Grand Cayman. We don't feed the Stingrays (we go before the feedings starts). This makes them at ease, like it eases us. They choose to hang around, look, play, rest!

I did my first night dive with a camera this evening. I was surprised to find that I actually got a few pleasing shots. This was the first octopus I've encountered as well.

Shortlisted!

The first time I saw one of these it surprised me. I was changing a camera setting and when I looked up it was inches from my face and closing. I had to push it away from me. This was after seeing a YouTube video of one tearing a guy's thumb off.

Juvenile Angelfish, Blue Hole

Canon T2i; 100mm macro; f/32; 1/180; ISO 200; 2 Ike strobes @ full power pointed outward

This guy was waiting for us as my wife and I surfaced after a dive. He just sat there as I swam closer and closer but hardly seemed to notice me.

So common here I pass them by all the time but .....

Porcelain crab at night at Barracuda Shoal, Exumas

There are lots of invasive lion fish in the area where I'm diving right now. Since they don't move much they make good subjects to practice underwater skills for a beginner.

Banded Jawfish, Blue Hole

Flamingo tongue.

This is my brain...on salt water.

This photo was taken with a Canon G12 in an Ikelite housing. Only the on-camera strobe was used. I took dozens of photos of anemones over several dives before I started getting anything decent. This is one of my first passable shots.
