Most of the photos posted to this page were taken with a Canon 20D in an Ikelike housing with TTL connection to an Ikelite DS-125 and an Inon 2000 substrobe. I also use a Sony Cybershot P150 in a Sony housing attached to a Sea & Sea YS-25 via fiberoptic cable.

Zebra Leopard Sole
I'm not sure what the real name of this species is; there are over 100 species. All soles have eyes on the right side of their body, so the nearer side of the first photo is actually the dorsal fin. Soles tend to be bolder in color than their flounder cousins - who change color to blend into their environment - but secrete a bitter, toxic substance from their dorsal and anal fins to deter predators.
