Its so cool to see those pearly jawfish pictrures. My bolyfriend's folks have a house in Key West. Hopefully going back soon..
How hard are they to spot in the wild? They are my favorite fish to watch in his tank. We actually just got two new ones this past week They are buddies burrowing together. Its really cute.

Visibilty was awesome for you. I went scouting/spearing on Tues. we shot 8 Hogs and an 8lb Red Grouper. I was freediving in like 20-30 ft. Great Pics. We truly are lucky to have this in our back yard.

Breathtaking. I miss diving.

We Saw a baracuda once and it was the scariest, ugliest and FASTEST thing I have ever seen about 6ft long. He was gone in a flash! (those teeth give ya nightmares). I liked it better when a sea turtle swam by me.
It has been almost 20 yrs since I dove. Wow. That long ago?

Very nice pics and those Jawfish are adorable. Just want to put them in your pocket an take them home.

Heh , love the Jawfish! Me and a couple friends will be heading out your direction to go diving early September. That vis is freakin amazing! Even on our best days we do not get nearly anything as clear as that here in Cali.

Cheers!

Every barracuda, I've seen, refused to let you get very close. They just seem to swim away when you try to approach them for a picture. Every pic I've taken has been from way above, below or from behind them.

Also, the ones that I've tried to catch on "shiny things" like spoons wouldn't even cooperate. I wouldn't worry about them too much because in clear water they usually see things for what they really are, whether they tied to a line or attached to your body.

Great pics!
I love to see fish in their natural habitat. I always see them in aquariums.
I've lived here all my life and I've never been diving, maybe one day you'll take me.

Btw, what's the fish in the pic that says... uuuhh...dinner... ?

I know its been a while since those shots were taken, but I have a question about the gear. Were you using an external strobe, the internal flash or nothing at all?

Thanks...I've recently started getting back into the diving thing, and I've been thinking about getting some camera gear for that purpose, but when you start adding strobes and all it gets pretty pricey.

No strobe, no flash, nothing at all.
