Another Day of Diving -- Grand Cayman
Thought I might share a few more photos, and a video from today and yesterday. I hope you enjoy. BTW, Pelagos is really turning out to be a great diver for actual diving.

Saw this turtle yesterday morning just going to town eating this soft coral sponge. The two French Angel fish were stealing crumbs from the turtle's mouth.


(Here is a video of the Turtle that I shot http://youtu.be/cQ7Gw0Hv9AM)


A nice Southern stingray with a Nassau Grouper resting behind


Spotted Cowfish


I'm not sure what this VIBRANT soft coral was called, but it truly was this color under water. Note the Blenny sitting on top of it


Red-lipped Blenny


With those eyes looking back at me.....I think he is planning to leave with my watch


Another beautiful day in paradise. I hope you have enjoyed the pictures.

He was deeper at close to 25 meters. My white-balancing technique doesn't work as well at that depth. I really need to get a couple strobes for the deeper photography work.

BTW, I love St. Martin. I have never been diving there, but I really enjoyed the island itself
