Fiji: Vatulele, Bird Island Wall


What a dive! First we saw a spotted eagle ray! Then I spotted a lionfish hiding. The guide didn't like the one I spotted, although he spent a lot of time with the one he spotted. :-) Lots of garden eels, a school of barracuda, and then a school of unicorn fish!

Fiji: Taveuni, Little White Wall


True to its name, we saw lots of white soft coral. Beautiful! Also got a great close-up of an anemone with its clownfish.

Fiji: Taveuni, The Cove


We saw a black and white sea snake swimming right by us! 3 lionfish, some fish that was black with white polka dots, 2 beautiful nudibranches.

St. Thomas Dive: lobsters


On the cruise when I roomed with Susan Coomes. We went diving at St. Thomas and saw lobsters, and not much else. They were cool to see though!

Tahiti Dive: Moorea; Shark Gallery


This time we saw a more serious shark, a lemon shark that was about 8 feet long. It stayed away from us, the closest we got was 30 feet away. Also saw a pair of the massive triggerfish, I love them! And 2 sailfin tangs. They are among my favorites!
