Great to have you back! Excellent as always - really like the eel's open mouth...looks like he isn't even underwater!

G,

Great to have you back and feeling better. Great pics as always. I love both of them. The gums of the Moray and the spots on the Peacock really jump out at me.

Dive Smart; Dive Safe
Enjoy the ride

Great Shots! The gaping mouth moray pose looks like the Wolf eel shots that people diving in BC post.

Nice peacock! My husband had zero luck photographing those while we were visiting your neck of the woods... lots of pics of their rear ends.

Glad you're back home, so I can get my daily fix of Hawaii photos.

That is the only halfway decent pic of a Peacock Grouper that I have been able to get so far. They are one of the most "skittish" fish I have come across. I couldn't believe this one didn't bolt into the reef when I approached. I did only get one shot off before it did.
While they are prized as a good eating fish they are at the top of the list for ciguatera poisoning.
