Cayman Brac - Yellow Tube Sponge & Diver
Yellow tube sponge and diver, Cayman Brac, March 2010
Not sure if it was the camera setting or what, but everytime I took a photo of yellow tube sponges many times they looked almost fake. It must be just the way the flash illuminates the yellow sponge against the blue background.

Cayman Brac - Nurse Shark
Nurse shark with remora, Cayman Brac, March, 2010
Mick our boat captain/divemaster said to keep our eyes open for nurse sharks on this dive. Two sharks could be reliably be found at this site in the past, but they had not been seen for awhile. Tracey and I were first in the water and began our search, checking numerous overhangs and small caves. I stuck my head in one small opening and gulped as my eyes focused on the distinctive tail fin just in front of me. Backing out of the opening I signaled "shark" to Tracey and swam around to the other side of the coral head to see if I could get a better look. A larger opening to the cave revealed one tail, one head, another tail?!? THREE large nurse sharks were stacked in the hole like cord wood.

Cayman Brac - Jellyfish
Jellyfish
Cayman Brac, March, 2010
Had a very hard time getting a decent photo of this jellyfish swimming just under the surface. Waves bounced and rolled me around, the strobe kept popping in and out of the water and the camera couldn't focus on the nearly transparent creature. This is the best pic of the bunch. I think I'd like to go back and try again.

Cayman Brac - A teaser
Here is a teaser photo from our recent trip to Cayman Brac. Many more to come.

Cayman Brac, March 2010
All the photos you will see of this year's trip are taken on my new Canon G11. For underwater shots it was housed in an Ikelite housing with a DS51 substrobe. What a great little camera especially for a "point & shoot" style. Won't give up my SLR just yet, but loved having this in my pocket ready to take a picture whenever something caught my eye. Also, for the price, the underwater system rocked!

New Camera
Thought I would post some photos taken over the last couple of days on my new camera - a Canon G11. I wanted a good "point & shoot" for underwater photography. An Ikelite housing and strobe are on the way. Must say that I am impressed with this thing so far. These pictures won't make National Geographic anytime soon but I thought I would share.
