Balloonfish
Location: Little Cayman Dive Site: Lea Lea's Lookout, Bloody Bay Wall Marine Life ID: Balloonfish Settings: Internal flash, close-up mode, superfine, 1200X800 Description: This balloonfish can be seen sitting on the same sponge in 50 feet of water almost every time we dive this site.
Banded clinging crab and giant anemone
Location: Little Cayman Dive Site: Nancy's Cup of Tea, Jackson Bay Marine Life ID: Banded clinging crab and giant anemone Settings: Internal flash, close-up mode, superfine, 1200X800 Description: Although most giant anemones here have a little crab friend living with them, it is unusual to see one sitting so proudly outside the protection of its host.
Bryozoan on sea whip
Location: Little Cayman Dive Site: Nancy's Cup of Tea, Jackson Bay Marine Life ID: Bryozoan on sea whip Settings: Internal flash, close-up mode, superfine, 1200X800 Description: There is an abundance of bryozoans, white cryptic sponges and black corals in this 90-foot-deep swim through.
Carribean reef squid
Location: Little Cayman Dive Site: Great Wall East, Bloody Bay Wall Marine Life ID: Carribean reef squid Settings: Auto mode, superfine, 1200X800 Description: When I snapped this picture, I didn't notice that the squid looks giant compared with the divers in the background.
Queen angel and hawksbill turtle
Location: Little Cayman Dive Site: Lea Lea's Lookout, Bloody Bay Wall Marine Life ID: Queen angel and hawksbill turtle Settings: Internal flash, superfine, 1200X800 Description: Hawksbills and angels sure love eating sponges together. And when they do, it is possible to get great close-ups!
Longsnout seahorse
Location: Little Cayman Dive Site: Mike's Mount, Jackson Bay Marine Life ID: Longsnout seahorse Settings: Internal flash, close-up mode, superfine, 1200X800 Description: This is the biggest seahorse I have seen here, at a whopping six inches long.
Banded coral shrimp on Nassau grouper
Location: Little Cayman Dive Site: Joy's Joy, Bloody Bay Wall Marine Life ID: Banded coral shrimp on Nassau grouper Settings: Internal flash, close-up mode, superfine, 1200X800 Description: We are so lucky to have heaps of Nassau groupers here that don't mind the odd close encounter with a cleaning shrimp and a diver.
Sperm whales
Location: 5 miles southeast of Little Cayman Marine Life ID: Sperm whales Settings: No flash, auto mode, superfine, 1200X800 Description: What is more exciting than coming across a pod of 16 sperm whales and being able to swim with them?! This is a calf with its mother and older sibling.
