Did my am snorkel and finally saw a queen Angel which is one of my favorites. I enjoyed seeing it and following it unfortunately it was too deep to get good clear pictures but I am sending some of the better ones. I also followed a turtle and would up going out tfurter than I gone in SXM.My wife and I spent an enjoyable afternoon in parrotville.

I love queen angels! How big was this one? It looks like it was fairly large. And thanks also for the parrot pictures. We need to get back there again. It's such an inexpensive fun time!

I wondered about lion fish. I know there was a move to hunt them and kill them for a while. Are they still prevalent, and/or growing more prevalent?

I haven't been diving in St Maarten for a couple of years but when I did we saw Lionfish every dive. I would guess that hasn't changed much.

bobbarb--Hopefully your comments are indicative of the overall situation with lionfish in SXM.
