After hundreds of dives around Bonaire, I (ok, my wife, Sharon, found it) found my first shortfin pipefish at night near small wall.

You definitely got the Sharon part right. I sometimes think she points at blank spots on the reef just to watch me squint. I've posted a few pics from the trip (not too many this time--flooded strobe, failed strobe bulkhead on the housing--I took the pipefish with my emergency Nikonos and a 1:2 framer). Here are some links:

Those pictures are incredable. I wish I could take pictures like that. Where did you stay and how did was the service?

Only if I had my rig on my navigation checkout dive in Curacao, I spotted a Harlequin Pipefish.
Anyways, sorry for hijacking. Congrats on the pic, a rare moment in deed

Great pics! Thanks so much! I have been unable to dive for over a year due to medical problems, but hope to be back in the water in Oct! Thanks for the pics!
Whatever he is - he's a very cool critter!
Excellent eyes to your wife - you're invited to dive with me any time!
