I finally got some more pics from our trip uploaded to my album. I'll throw a couple batches on here to get folks headed down that way fired up.
The SW corner of the stingray pen shore diving from Blue Angel
Sting Ray Pen - Blue Angel
Spotted Drum near the ray pen.
Spotted Drum - Blue Angel
This pic turned out crappy, but I kept it for two reasons. First it was the smallest turtle I've ever seen, no bigger then the diameter of a paper plate. Second was the Sharksucker that was attached to it.
Small Hawksbill w/Sharksucker
People ask what the current is like. Here's a pic from Chankanaab Shallows
Current - Chankanaab Shallows
I like how these Gray Angels pair up, it's like they are joined.
Gray Angelfish Pair - Santa Rosa Wall
The diver in the pic was signaling a turtle he'd spotted when he turned to look at me. He was a bit surprised
Norman and Barracuda
These last three pics were taken within about 10 feet of each of other on Paradise reef.
I love this pic. It looks like he is PO'ed to the max that he is being bothered. I haven't ID'ed it yet for sure, I think it is a variety of sea bass. Anyone knows, shout out.
Unknown - Paradise
I guess when all you have is a little bit of cover the best you can do is hunker down and try to blend in.
Balloonfish - Paradise
This trunkfish was nearly tumbling across the sand in the current when I first saw it. It bumped into a bit of stuff on the bottom and got his composure back.
Smooth Trunkfish, sub-adult - Paradise
I'll post some more later when I get a chance.
