Snorkeling in Djibouti, Africa

[mx36]

I am currently deployed to Djibouti, Africa and had a chance to go snorkeling and thought I would share some pics. It was my first time using the camera so some aren't so good. I also have more at this site just use africa for the password: http://s192.photobucket.com/albums/z17/mxracer36/Djibouti%20Africa%20snorkeling2010/
hope you enjoy.

Very nice pictures. In the first pic do you know what kind of fish is the black and blue stripped fish?

I believe its some kind of wrasse.

Looks like a type of cleaner wrasse

What an experience!

The fish in the photos you are referring to is Larabicus quadrilineatus, commonly known in the US as the Red Sea cleaner wrasse...

I will hopefully be able to go to a different site in a couple of weeks and get some more photos. The coral in these pics are all pretty small compared to some that I have seen over here. I will post new pics as i get them.

My trip to the beach is the only nice thing about this deployment, to bad I only get out about once a month. Here is one from my latest trip. It is one of about 10-15 I had swimming around me.
