I just got back from Moorea and Bora Bora. These are a few, I am pretty whooped after the travel home. I will post more later.

Here are the shark pics and a pair of the best clown I ever saw. That nem is pretty small huh?!? Geeez...

Man. You are killing me. I've only been able to see nurse sharks up close (dogs of the sea-they don't interest me like reef sharks...). The only reef sharks I've been able to see at all diving were when I was coming up for a safety stop and they pop into the spot in the sand just below the rope. I can't wait to fin a spot where I have several swiming overhead. I think that'd feel really cool. Large rays would also be cool (never seen a Manta, but go tto see a small group of eagle rays in Cancun a few years ago on a twilight dive). I've got a serious jones...
 
I never really get nervous around the sharks....Even when I was snorkiling and I was 200 to 300 yds from shore. Its the 100lb triggers with horse teeth that make me flinch.

Look at this one.
