 January
17-22, 2009: We came out of a swim through and ran into
a barracuda. He was huge, I thought about five feet. My dive
buddy thought it was more than six feet long. Fortunately he
wasn't hungry for divers at that time.
|
 I
loved all the little Blue Chromis darting in and out of the colorful
coral. |

 The
Gray Angelfish were also rather plentiful among the reefs. My fish
identification skills need work so some of my fish names may be
incorrect. However, I do know a barracuda when I see it. |
 I
think this is an orange filefish. Their tails have such a unique
shape. |

 Queen
Anglefish are so colorful and abundant. I took a lot of photos of
them. |
 We
got a look at three or four of these sea turtles. |

 This
is some sort of ray we saw on the bottom. This one was hiding underneath a
coral head. Many times they have fish hanging above them. |
 These
honeycomb cowfish were so much fun to watch. They are triangular and know
how to move. But then we were diving in 1.5 to knots of current once or
twice. Made for lots of fuzzy fish tails. |
