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 Moray
Lendell spotted a pair of Zebra Moray Eels (Gymnomuraena zebra) in just 4 meters of water at Tasi Tolu today. I found this species in two books in the UWET library and both say that the Zebra Moray is very shy and almost always nocturnal, hunting the reef for small fishes and shrimps. Although both books also say it is difficult to approach, one of the individuals we saw today was swimming on top of the reef and seemed somewhat unphased by our presense.
