Snorkeling in Belize Pics

This may be off topic since it is snorkeling and not politics. Sorry
couldn't resist.

We just got back from a trip to Caye Caulker to go snorkeling a couple
of times. This link points to the thumbnails. If you want to read
about the trip or see the pics from 2005 you can go back up to the trip
report for Caye Caulker 2005. Those pictures aren't separated.

Pictures taken with a Nikon 4300 in a Fantasea case.

I tried to answer you email but is rejected. The best advice I could
give is to not let the camera get into the sun. Going from sun to
water causes it to fog sometimes. The pictures you saw are the ones
that didn't. Several times I didn't even try because I knew it was
fogged. You should have seen the foggy picture of the moray. Two eels
and fogged up both times.

Hi Al,

In case you're interested in some more fish identification...

Target7 is a Yellowhead Wrasse
Target10 is not a Smooth Trunkfish but a Spotted Trunkfish (Smooths have a
honeycomb pattern in the center of their bodies)
Target10a the fish in this picture are Bermuda Chubs
Target11 and Target13 are Hawksbill Turtles not Loggerheads (you can see a
picture of a loggerhead on my website (http://www.randallgamby.com)).
Loggerheads have large tails.
Target17 the other fish in the picture are Gray Snappers
Target19 those are Blue Tangs, distinguished by the yellow strip in the tail
Target24 and Target26 are actually Stoplight Parrotfish
Target27 is a Doctorfish, related to Tangs but have the white strip between
the body and the tail

Anyway, the easiest way to ident fish is to pick up the Reef Fish
Identification, Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas by Paul Humann and Ned Deloach.
I don't leave home without it!

Nowadays with all the weight restrictions and such, I don't carry it with
me. I just use the dive shop's copy for immediate reference and then
reacquaint myself by browsing my personal copy when I get home.

Thanks for the help. I'll get it straightened out to night.
