BVI snorkeling pics

A few weeks back I was in the BVI on a 7 day sailing trip and was able to do some snorkeling. i used an olympus d-580 w/underwater housing and took a bunch of pis and I thought I would post some...the first is a little blurry but it was in a cave and an entire wall was covered in sun coral...AMAZING!!!

the next pic is a school of atlantic tangs that were feeding that I followed around ...it was cool that there was a trumpetfish and parrotfish mixed in the school....and then a cuda that was on the bottom in about 25ft of water or so...he was 3- 3 1/2 feet long

absolutly!

I went snorkling off the island of Isle Muhares in cancun. as soon as I jumped in I saw a 3' barracuda that was about 10' from me. he took a quick look then darted off. Luckily I was able to get a decent shot. I will try and post a pic tonight. Pretty cool!

this guy was close to 6ft long...was HUGE......saw it hovering under a boat...everytime I got near it would open up its mouth like in this pic and show his teeth......a little blurry because I tried to keep a distance

prabaly the highlight of my trip was seeing this octopus feeding on a snail....check out how his color changed....this was about 11am...I guess it's kind of rare to see them like this in the daylight....

One morning we went out at about 7am and it was cool to see a lot of fish where we were feeding...as I was snorkeling I just became surrounded in fish...heres a shot of some sgt majors and a yellowtail snapper....I was amazed that these sgt majors are like 10" in the wild.....
