Jim Chambers from Tucker, Ga.

Location: Little Cayman Marine Life ID: Barracuda Camera and Settings: Nikon D100 in Aquatica housing with Nikon SB80-DX strobe in Subal strobecase, 60mm AF Micro Nikkor lens, f-16 Description: The Cayman Islands have some really big barracudas, and this big fellow just cruised right up and begged to be photographed!

Location: Little Cayman Marine Life ID: Basslet Camera and Settings: Nikon D100 in Aquatica housing with Nikon SB80-DX strobe in Subal strobecase, 105mm AF Micro Nikkor lens, f-22 Description: I love the little fairy basslets, they're one of the most colorful fish on the reef, and they make great macro subjects.

Location: Little Cayman Marine Life ID: Black durgon Camera and Settings: Nikon D100 in Aquatica housing with Nikon SB80-DX strobe in Subal strobecase, 60mm AF Micro Nikkor lens, f-16 Description: You can't really appreciate the beauty of the black durgon until you bring out their colors with a strobe.

Location: Little Cayman Marine Life ID: Sponge Camera and Settings: Nikon D100 in Aquatica housing with Nikon SB80-DX strobe in Subal strobecase, 105mm AF Micro Nikkor lens, f-22 Description: Purple translucent sponges are pretty enough by themselves, but this shot of a Pederson shrimp cleaning a brittle star was a real find!

Location: Little Cayman Marine Life ID: Yellowhead jawfish Camera and Settings: Nikon D100 in Aquatica housing with Nikon SB80-DX strobe in Subal strobecase, 105mm AF Micro Nikkor lens, f-22 Description: Most yellowhead jawfish are shy and retreat into their burrows when approached, but this fellow was curious or bold enough to come right up in my face.

Location: Little Cayman Marine Life ID: Yellowhead jawfish Camera and Settings: Nikon D100 in Aquatica housing with Nikon SB80-DX strobe in Subal strobecase, 105mm AF Micro Nikkor lens, f-22 Description: The 105mm lens is an awesome lens for capturing tiny things like this yellowhead jawfish.
