Go to Photobucket.com and upload your pictures and then come back here to upload. You will see how easy it is.... Good luck
I wonder if these two look familiar to you:
This was a first for me as well. There is even a jealous lover off to the left! I took a lot of photos when I saw two blennies in one hole, but most came out horrible. Luckily this one looks good, and when I reviewed it on the computer, it looks like there were eggs in there.
If you don't like the strong current (it does get STRONG), there is still a lot to see to the south, which is virtually current-free. The boat and shopping carts have some nice life.
As far as the juvi angelfish, I saw him on December 28 of last year, but he was too shy and I couldn't get a good shot. Saw him the next day, and I snapped the pic then. I saw him again in the same place Feb 5th, and he was a bit bigger but was being shy again (I'm assuming it's the same one, I haven't seen many out here). After looking at many photos and reading the differences between Queen and Blue, I figured it was a queen. But I am a total noob at this! I have tons of learning to do.

Whoa! That is *so* cool! I'm pretty sure that's not the same hole mine were in, and I *surely* didn't get that kind of look down *into* the hole. Great shot! I *did* note that when the gal was down below (assuming the guy is the larger of the two), the way the guy was shaking and shivering, I was almost embarrassed to keep watching.
My plan *had* been to dive the "south" area for the first part of the dive, but the current said "you can't get there from here". I still have a good bit to learn about the area. But, I'm *really* looking forward to the lessons.
Finally got around to getting some pics from December dives up on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mentalblock/sets/72157625892637211/

Thanks. I came very close to not bothering with the cornetfish as it looked almost exactly like a nearby piece of palm frond trash. Made a neat breakthrough this past weekend, though, when I tried an old mask with weaker "readers" in it. Well, it's actually sort of "trifocals", but the weaker reader part was perfect for actually seeing little stuff without having to stick my mask right up next to it. Next thing you know, I'll find my first nudibranch.
The jawfish seemed to sort of get used to me being there after about a half hour.
I was thrilled to get a couple of shots of him with broken shells in his mouth. I'll likely not live long enough to find one with a mouth full of eggs. . .I think the damsel is a juvenile dusky. I'd seen a number of them diving LBTS, but had never had the patience to wait one out of his hidey hole once I'd been spotted. This guy was in a fairly restricted area with few places to hide, and once I sort of figured out some of his patterns, I went to the trouble of lining up the modeling lights on my strobes so as to make the camera's autofocus have a chance at occasionally catching him. He was still almost as aggravating as the juvenile yellowtail damsels - which I have a major love/hate relatonship with.
They are *so* challenging, but also just *so* cool to look at.Kevin
