We made a last minute decision to purchase an underwater digital camera, and we are so glad we did. Chris was in charge of this purchase and he chose the Canon PowerShot D30. The variety of reviewed and rated underwater cameras is small. This camera was pretty well rated, and it was available 2-day delivery from Amazon, so that essentially made our decision. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it took some great pictures for us:
The Reef. The striped fish are called Sargeant Majors.
This exotic creature is a Lionfish. They are some bad mamajamas. They are native to the Indo-Pacific, and are an invasive species in the Caribbean. The fins on its back are venomous and they can decimate a reef by eating all of the fish. Lionfish are actively hunted and fed to the Sharks in hopes the Sharks will start hunting them on their own.
We saw a number of Sea Turtles.
This lobster put on quite the show for us. He was massive in size and strutting around. We figure his body was a foot and a half long.
Blue Regals.
