Sunday: Dive One

Depsite strobe and camera problems I had a great dive this morning. Not as many photos as I wanted because my batteries piked for no apparent reason only minutes into the dive. I was able to force out a few extra shots, but not many.

Here's a pretty lionfish...not very cooperative as I was able to only get this shot before he turned his tail to me and pushed under the ledge. I love the way his bright white spots stand out!


Then there's this good sized eel who's had it a bit hard. Lots of scars and his left eye is completely milky. On his right eye there are all speckles - almost look like sand particles or something. We couldn't figure it out, but assume he's going to lose that eye too...I can see them in my copy, not sure if they will show up in Save for Web!


Doing another dive later today and hope to have better luck with batteries!

Hey, Alcina those are great shots.....even if you had problems with the strobe. did you get it to function after all??

nice lionfish shot! as well as the Moray. I have seen some large eels here on Guam with the milky eyes as well.

Great shots Alcina! You're doing some wonderful photography and I get to shovel the snow off my car...

Very cool! I have seen a couple of eels (and even our cat!) that had milky eyes from some kind of fight. I am pretty much on first name terms with most of the eels on the Sea Tiger, so I tell which are the resident eels and which are newbies....anyway of those that are residents with coulded eyes, the eyes seem to clear back up after a while....
