Good morning from Curacao! Still no internet at home, trying to get UTS to come out and do a repair is close to impossible, maybe today?

Yesterday I worked and tried to finish my last minute shopping list. I leave tomorrow morning at 6:00am and will arrive in Rapid City, SD at around 5:30pm, that’s a long day of travel and I have to get on three different planes.

Here’s a fun shot for you all today, this is a macro shot of the tail of a large Stoplight Parrotfish. Saturday night when Aimee and I went diving together instead of seeing coral spawning we found countless other cool creatures instead. Once the sun goes down, Parrotfish like so many other reef fish seek shelter for the long night ahead. During most dives we see countless Parrotfish laying under coral heads or hiding in some of the coolest spots you can imagine, the trick is not to wake them. Most divers end up spooking them or waking them up because of their bright lights, the trick is to find one and use soft light and then slowly move in close. I found that using diffusers over my lights allows me to get very close at least most of the time. The other trick is to never go night diving too early because the fish are still not fully asleep and are spooked a lot more easily!

That’s about it, see some of you real soon, I am going down in the sub right now for a photo shoot with friends. Have a great day, Barry
