| | | **Fish ID:** Sea whip and feather anenome **Location:** Blue Peter, Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing with YS-120 strobe **Description:** This is an image I saw in my mind's eye as I ambled around. It took a lot of effort to get the ambience the same in the photo as it felt whilst diving.| | | | **Fish ID:** Sponges and sea fans **Location:** Babylon, Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing with YS-120 strobe **Description:** Babylon is a great dive site and it's nice to be able to show the large sponges and masses of sea fans adorning the almost inverted section of wall here.| | | | **Fish ID:** Star coral **Location:** Wildlife, Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing with YS-120 strobe **Description:** Macro photography at night is great fun in the Cayman Islands as the corals come to life and begin to feed. I was lucky to capture this with the slow digital shutter.| | | | **Fish ID:** Brittle star **Location:** Mitch Millers, Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing with YS-120 strobe, half power **Description:** I love brittle stars, and this image just amazed me with how much color there was.| | | | **Location:** _Doc Poulson,_ Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing **Description:** The wheelhouse is the grandest part of this small wreck. It's nice to get into a position where it seems big and prominent.| | | | **Fish ID:** Queen angelfish **Location:** Orange Canyon, Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing with YS-120 strobe **Description:** A classic "Cayman Moment."| | | | **Fish ID:** Scorpionfish **Location:** Mitch Millers, Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing with YS-120 strobe **Description:** I took several photos of this fish, some close ups and some of the entire fish. This was my favorite.| | | | **Fish ID:** Parrotfish **Location:** _Oro Verde,_ Grand Cayman **Camera:** Olympus 3040 in a Tetra Housing **Description:** A challenge to make the _Oro Verde_ look like a wreck again, but the lucky parrotfish cruising by made it come to life.|
