Blue Corner |
Nothing special ... just a lot of fish above me. This is probably pretty much straight up. |
This is a decent shot of some kind of grouper. |
Sharks are not uncommon at Blue Corner - in fact, hooking up is common on Blue Corner and usually you see them out in the blue. Here's a White Tip Reef Shark closer to the reef. |
This is a very large Napoleon Wrasse, about midway between myself and Gat, our dive master ... he's tempting the wrasse with an egg. |
A closeup of the head of this particular Napoleon Wrasse. |
An amazingly clear shot of a Clown Trigger, considering how fast he's moving. |
This is either a Trumpet Fish or maybe a Needle Fish. |
A bunch of tiny, brilliantly blue fish are hiding in this coral. |
German Channel |
I was amazed at the coloring of the flesh of the clams we saw. |
This little puffer looked kind of cool. He would occasionally hide in the coral that's in the center/bottom of this photo. |
One of the things I really wanted to get a good shot of on this trip was a Lion Fish. This isn't a bad one, considering that usually all you get of Lion Fish is ass. |
And here's one of the other things I *really* wanted to get. A Manta Ray. Feeding and heading towards me, no less. |
As he passed over me I got a shot of his gills and the remoras on him. |
Here's another one (could be the same one I guess) getting ready to pass by me. |
A couple of Gobi. |
Garden Eels are usually *very* skittish and hard to shoot. I was amazed to get a pair of them to allow me to get this close, and with a bit of zoom I got a surprisingly good shot. |
And a bit more zoom, a bit closer, and some amazingly clear water - here's a closer shot of one of the Garden Eels. |
Here's kind of what they look like from a distance. They disappear into their holes when something gets too close. |
This Gobi had a shrimp cleaning his burrow, but I never got a photo of the shrimp. |
Big Drop Off |
A closeup of some purple soft coral. |
A wider shot of the same stuff. |
Some other soft coral. |
This shelf of coral was pretty cool to look at - unfortunately, the lighting wasn't quite right for my camera. |
I always get at least one photo of the sun. Don't ask why. |
I named this soft coral, but it's probably a hard coral with some wierd polyps on it. |
They're probably not called Clown Fish perse but they are definitely a kind of anemonie fish. Their anemonie is a very bright orange! |
It took me a while to realize that this was a fish. It is, of course, a Leaf Fish. |
Ngedbus Wall |
The only shot that came out this dive was of this Sea Star. And I had to brighten this one quite a bit. |
