(Picture heavy) Na na na na na na na naa, na na na na nawh-
BATSTAR!



Na na na na na na na naa, na na na na nawh, Another Batstar!



Na na na na na na na naa, na na na na nawh, Fishie!



Na na na na na na na naa, na na na na nawh, School of fishies!



Na na na na na na na naa, na na na na nawh, Sea Cucumber! (My first one BTW)



Na na na na na na na naa, na na na na nawh, Bat Family!



The Na na's got old, can you see the octopus? (Another first, the answer below picture)



If you look closely between the two Urchins in the lower left of the picture
You can see the two horn like eyebrows on the octopus. I did not get a chance to
get a shot of him in the open. He saw me first and bee-lined to the rock.


Thanks for looking!

2. Point Vicente, Palos Verde CA.
Below the fisherman's access parking lot. It is a nice little cove, with fairly shallow water for snorkeling.

I LOVE these!

Thanks!

4. That is nice of you to say..
But if you take a hundred or more a few are likely to be in focus, and a couple will even be centered!

5. You are so right...
I'm lucky to get one good shot out of a roll of film. Lots of nice tail shots, tail shots, and more tail shots. Its like the fish can "feel" your finger about to trigger the shutter. lol

22. At first we would use those disposable "sports" cameras.
The cost of developing the few would come out was pretty expensive, especially if we wanted them fast (Both me and Ali are a little ADD). It took awhile but we got a modest digital camera and the accessory waterproof housing. It is perfect for snorkeling and kayaking, and we can see our pictures as soon as we get home.
