Here are (hopefully) some more photos for you to enjoy. I am not too technical when it comes to computers, so I may not be getting these through.

I actually have two. The one I used for most of these shots was an Olympus C3040Z with an underwater housing for it. I can do anything underwater with it as on the surface, except change batteries. (I bought it used off of ebay). It's only a 3.3 megapixal, but has given me great results. I also had a strobe that finally bit the dust early last year, so I upgraded camera to a Nikon P&S with a Ikelite housing and an Ikelite strobe. It's a 10 megapixal camera, but I am not as happy with it as my Olympus. I used the Nikon last year in Antigua and only got so so pictures. I may try both cameras this year in Jamaica and see if it's the strobe or the camera.

Thank you. It is an Olympus C3040Z. I especially like it because it has an f1.8 lens, which is quite sharp for a camera like this.

Allen,
All three photos are wonderful, that Jawfish must have had you waiting for a while great shot. Too bad the Octopus did not spread itself out.

George, I was literally laying on the floor 'waiting' as you mention for him to come out. They are such a neat little fish, and the only ones I've seen that go vertical, tail first, into their holes. The octopus just kind of sat there watching, so I could not get too close. Thanks for the compliments.

Allen,
The compliments are well deserved, since I have been diving since 58 I have seen it all. I have waited just like you for that shot of the Jawfish. Have handled Scorpion Fish though very carfully, even Sea Snakes, they are not aggressive, bu they are highly venomous. I love Octopi, they are amazing creatures, I had one spend ten minutes trying to get my watch off, and it almost did. A friend in Vladivostok had a pet Giant Pacific Octopus, about 14 ft across, wonderful to watch the two of them together.

Those are so great. The jawfish looks like something I'd love to take home and pet and the featherduster something you'd wear in your hair. The octopus...well, they're not pretty. LOL! They are interesting to watch though. Wish I could see some of those guys. Have seen a small octopus but not the others. Great shots.
