Dusky anemonefish
Location: Okinawa, Japan Dive Site: Maeda Point Marine Life ID: Dusky anemonefish Settings: Full auto, internal flash Description: We see these anemonefish all the time, but the colors of the anemone made this different.
Chevron barracuda
Location: Mergui Archipelago, Burma Dive Site: North Twin Plateau Marine Life ID: Chevron barracuda Settings: Full auto, internal flash Description: When we came across this school of thousands of barracuda, my buddy couldn't resist swimming through--and I couldn't resist this shot!
Goby
Location: Mergui Archipelago, Burma Dive Site: North Twin Bay Marine Life ID: Goby Settings: Full auto, macro, internal flash Description: I had to come back a few minutes later, and much more slowly, to try a second (this) shot.
Mantis shrimp
Location: Thailand Dive Site: Richelieu Rock Marine Life ID: Mantis shrimp Settings: Full auto, macro, internal flash Description: This one took a little patience and a lot of luck. All of the others were very camera shy.
Cuttlefish
Location: Okinawa, Japan Dive Site: Junkyard Marine Life ID: Cuttlefish Settings: Full auto, internal flash Description: The pronounced bumps and iridescent spots made this one a keeper from a night dive.
Durbin dancing shrimp
Location: Burma Dive Site: Shark Cave Island Marine Life ID: Durbin dancing shrimp Settings: Full auto, macro, internal flash Description: This one was (relatively) huge! And photogenic.
Christmas tree worm
Location: Okinawa, Japan Dive Site: Junkyard Marine Life ID: Christmas tree worm Settings: Full auto, macro, internal flash Description: First dive with the new Olympus. It's so easy to get great shots with it!
Zebra moray eel
Location: Mergui Archipelago, Burma Dive Site: North Twin Bay Marine Life ID: Zebra moray eel Settings: Full auto, macro, internal flash Description: It was hard to miss contrast like this.
