I have heard there are lights mountable to the strobe arm or something like that...got to get something like that! I always moved my light away at the last minute, so as not to wash out the pic, but I guess if I keep the strobe on auto, it will compensate for the light from my flashlight, right? My husband has it so easy with his Nikon/Ikelite setup--his strobes stay on continuously at night on a moderate power, so he uses them as his primary dive light, then when he pushes the shutter button, the strobes change power for that instant to the appropriate amount for the shot.
The reason I know a lot of the names is on our first trip, we had to share a condo (Sand Dollar @Bonaire) with another couple who brought ID books along. Each night, we would spend an hour or so identifying all the critters we had pics of and laughed and made fun of each other, re-living the dive and the day. This, while others were out partying somewhere all night. We had a great time and have gone on most of our trips since then with this other couple, and still have the love of identifying the critters. We use primarily the 'reef fish identification--florida, caribbean, bahamas' by humann and deloach series. We have all 3 books (one for fish, inverts and corals) and just ordered the dvd version of the fish one--that should be awesome not to have to pack any books on the trip. We always take the laptop anyway, to download pics as we go, check email, and edit on the plane ride home. I hope to give a presentation in the next few months to our local diving club on sea critter id.

and hasn't been seen in a while. 
But I am sure it was fun. It definitely payed off too.
