How funny that this thread was resurrected recently...I just got back from a week diving in Curacao, so I do have more pictures! And I still really do love diving.
Somehow I got the knack of my camera (a point and shoot Canon in an underwater housing) and I got a lot of decent pictures this time. Here are a few of my favorites, either because of the subject matter or how cool the picture is.
My favorite, a four-eye butterfly fish looking right at me.
My other favorite, a juvenile trunkfish (with a feather duster). It's the size of a pea, and I've only seen this fish 3 times in my 25 years of diving. This one I found on my own. It made my trip.
This is what an adult trunkfish looks like.
My other favorite, a juvenile spotted drum. Just gorgeous.
There were tons of Christmas tree worms everywhere.
A school of squid in formation.
A frogfish. They look like sponges, and are very hard to spot.
Lots of small stuff, like this banded coral shrimp.
I have so many pictures of eels; here are just a couple.
A pufferfish. I saw a huge puffer, but the pictures didn't turn out very well.
One of the most gorgeous, a queen angelfish.

Glad you added some more photos - those are great.
I love those worms - they are so funny. I'm with Queen - we could jut spend the dive playing with them.

If you guys are interested, why not plan a scuba diving trip to sites in Western Australia? We have the Ningaloo Reef, Rottnest Island and many other places!
I'd love to scuba!

I'd love to dive in Australia! But having a non-diving partner is problematic when planning hugely expensive dive trips.
