Back from the Bahamas!


Hi all! We are back from our Bahama vacation, and thought I would share a few pics. I am not a photographer, and these are all using my Sealife Reefmaster Mini underwater camera.. Doesn't do too bad...

Mr. and Mrs. Protege on the beach..


Very large Brain Coral? It was about 24" across.



Giant Gorgorian, about 20" high, and 30" across.



Huge starfish, about 14"

Some sort of trigger. I was chasing him, but he was a bit too fast for me to get a good shot.



Neat 10" boxfish of some kind.



Giant angel. It was grey, not sure what kind, but was at least 14"



Tons of Sgt. Major Damsels. All about the size of my hand.



A mess-o-fish..



Our resort, and favorite seating...

It was still a good trip, but I think we were spoiled on previous resorts. This one was just sub-par compared to the others we had been to. If this had been our first caribbean resort, we probably would have loved it.
