Glad to see that there is a site now dedicated to u/w. I have been diving for several years now and dive all over the Caribbean. Some sites are so so, while others are wonderful. One of my most rewarding dives was one I though would be hum drum, and it ended up as one of my favorites. I'll try to send a couple of sets, and see if this works.
Arrowhead Crab in St. Lucia
Turtle in Bonaire
Red Lionfish in Bahamas

Allen,
Too bad the Volitans are taking over the reefs they have no natural enemies in the Caribbean and an abundance of prey. They are still a beautiful fish. Too bad they have been released by people with Aquariums. A fish that is hard to work with since they are so protective. Get one of those barbs to stick you and you will be in pain for hours.

A few years ago when in the Bahamas, I saw one and asked the Divemaster about it. He said that some of the hurricanes had set some loose from aquariums and any seen were supposed to be killed. Doesn't look like it's happening fast enough since they are more prolific.

Allen,
It is unfortunate that they have to be killed but then again left alone they will then become dominant and kill off all the small fish.

I first heard of the lionfish problem while in Bonaire. They were asking visitors and locals to mark the fish (how I don't know, I'd be scare of getting stuck) and then they go out and kill them. They were serving lionfish fritters and fillets. I guess eating them is better than just throwing them away if they're safe.

You should be underwater with them. You'd love that even more. It's better than Calgone.
