Hi,
Spotted this fish at about 60 ft in St Croix. It's probably obvious, but I can't find it anywhere. I think I saw it on Roatan as well.

Thanks,

Yeah I should probably get 'a life'.
Have a zillion photos of these guys. Leaving for Cayman on the Nekton next month so may have a zillion and one when we get back.
Haven't dove St. Croix, do you have a trip report somewhere?

Based on your web site I'd say you DO have a great life. Reading posts here is a lot more of a life than watching TV or sleeping. Especially if your doing both :)
I'll put together a dive report here eventually. But for now the I'm still trying to complete my web pages for the trip. http://delargy.com/2006_07_Virgin_Islands/st_croix.htm
 
uhhhh wow Frank,
I think we have quite similiar lives! When I look at your website I see we have visited many of the same places in the last 6 or 7 years. Enjoyed your photography.
We're off for a liveaboard in the Caymans next month.
Looks like we might run into you guys one of these days.
Happy traveling!

Frank, I'm curious, where did you look?
Hi Walter,
Well, where else would I look .. the internet. I realize there is a limit to Googling.. but I was able to ID most of the other critters this way and through sites like http://www.oceanlight.com/fish.html.
I'm still a diving newbie obviously and don't yet have Paul Humann's Reef Fish Identification book, but I am about to order it from Amazon.
I didn't really think of this board as my last resort either.. since with only a couple of days of browsing I could tell this virtual community was full of very friendly & helpful folks.
