Blenny and Christmas Trees

The sky is the limit. Coral reaches dramatically towards the surface.

had no dive gear for this one, but as 'Singray City' is only in 4 foot of water had a friend stand on my back to hold me underwater and still whilst I held my breath for the pic

This French Angelfish was very curious about what I was doing and swam with me for quite a while.

An inquisitive Blenny coming out of his hole to check me out. His little "antennas" were bending in the moderate current.

We followed this little guy for a good 5 minutes, and the best photo was as we let him swim away.

Octopus shot from a night dive.

Tok 10-17, Canon T2i @ Lost Wall of East End, Grand Cayman

This was taken on my first night dive. It looks like an anemone but I'm not sure it is. I've never seen one during the day. It retracted into a tube like christmas tree worm if disturbed. They are very pretty.

My favourite place at dawn. The famous Sandbar (close to Stingray City) in Grand Cayman. We don't feed the Stingrays (we go before the feedings starts). This makes them at ease, like it eases us. They choose to hang around, look, play, rest!

I did my first night dive with a camera this evening. I was surprised to find that I actually got a few pleasing shots. This was the first octopus I've encountered as well.

The first time I saw one of these it surprised me. I was changing a camera setting and when I looked up it was inches from my face and closing. I had to push it away from me. This was after seeing a YouTube video of one tearing a guy's thumb off.

This guy was waiting for us as my wife and I surfaced after a dive. He just sat there as I swam closer and closer but hardly seemed to notice me.

So common here I pass them by all the time but .....
