Great shots Bill! Great to dive with you again, and the debrief at McGuire's was nice as well.
 
Here are a couple more including an odd sighting of a remorah on a sitting then swimming stingray.

Always great to dive with Yoda....and I owe him one for the assistance.

I always try to get images of fish I don't already have... and found a very tiny fish that looked like a yellow tadpole...particularly when swimming, which it did not seem to really want to do.... I eventually picked it up in my hand... and when I let it down...this guy swam by and swallowed it.

He swam about a foot, stopped got a very ugly look on his face and spit the little guy out...

Here is the best picture I have of it....

Guess baby scorpion fish...but not sure.
 
To put in a size perspective, those are grains of sand on him.. and about 5 are the size of one of his eyes.
 
That was a baby toadfish just like this one I found:

So what does a Toad fish taste like? It must not be very appealing!

I made the mistake of putting him in my right hand, so I could not hold the camera and take a picture... nice pictureby the way. Mine had fish stomach slime stuck on it.

Given the reaction of the fish, it had to be terrible tasting, but it may just have been all those spines.. which the adults don't seem to have.
