Your pictures are absolutely wonderful, thank you for sharing.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing.

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!

It was a larger Queen Angel adult. Did not see one this AM but did see French Angels a comb ( jellyfish) and unfortunately my first lion fish of this trip.

Love your photos, thanks.

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.

This is the first lion fish I saw in 5 days or about 7-8 hours of snorkeling. Last year I see them every snorkel and most 4or 5, at one time I saw 5 together. A few years back I showed 2 spear fisherman were one was and they got it also showed them a lobster which they also got.

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

Great shots, thanks!
