    Pretty awesome seeing it. If we had a video cam we could have solicited it to Nat Geo for some money.
    yeah!!! i saw it a mile away it really looked like a baby alien. i then proceeded to trying to call your freaking attention for 5 mins before you looked. i have seen a lot of weird things but this little guy defintely takes the cake!!! im pretty pissed of becasue i dint bring the camera down. i could bring it down 1000 times and wouldnt find one ever again. we are pretty darn lucky i know people that have been diving anilao for decades and havent seen a flamboyant cuttlefish EVER.

    Ok this resolves my dilemna on whether or not to get a new camera.. I hope someone just gives it to me as a gift or I find a set floating in the ocean someday.

    Yeah, that first dive was interesting. Holding Moonie at 85ft against a wall, watching Chip fiddle with the cam, then fiddle some more and more and more and ...

    I liked the third dive best though, even though it killed my sinuses. I would have liked to have gotten a pic of that tiny clown fish.
