Pelican island is a tiny island that often times does not show up on maps. It is within sight of Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands. When we began the dive it was stormy on the surface - raining cats and dogs and the waves were running 2-3 feet. Below the surface it became glassy calm, but very dark, almost as dark as a night dive. Although it was early afternoon, many night creatures were being to start to move around. This truck fish had just come out from behind a large sea fan when I saw it. I managed to snap just this shot before he was gone.

Trunk fish at the "Indians". Just off the coast of Pelican island is a rocky feature know as the "Indians". Because of the stormy skies the dive was essentially a night dive. Towards the end of the dive I came across this very shy trunkfish.
