All the underwater photos we've been taking recently are from our little wee point-and-shoot camera. While we were in New York we splurged and bought an underwater housing so we could take it diving with us- it wasn't cheap (US$200) but we've been having great fun using it and I thought I'd share the results so far.
This beauty is a Lionfish. Its spines are poisonous - and get this - the antidote to getting stung is to stuck your hand (or wherever you were poked) into really, really hot water.
Bluespotted Stingray. Not hard to guess how this fella got his name. The blue spots are really vivid.
Honeycomb Moray. Her taste in fashion is way out of date - animal prints are so eighties.
She's getting a makeover courtesy of the little blue Cleaner Wrasse.
Rachel, not to be outdone by an eel in leopard-print lycra, is getting a manicure from the local White-banded Cleaner Shrimp.
We found this fella on the deck of a tug-boat wreck.
A Giant Clam. Not that it was actually that gigantic. Gorgeous though.
With friends like these, who needs anemones?
These guys aren't actually clownfish. I did some checking and discovered they're actually False Clownfish. What kind of a world do we live where small colourful reef fish are so full of deceit? How dare they!
The fish behind them are Threespot Damselfish. At least they're on the level.
Bearded Scorpionfish. This guy looks like he's a mean old bugger, doesn't he?
