Underwater!

You can't knit underwater (at least not easily), but you sure can see some cool things! Here are some of the hundreds of underwater photos I took while diving in Palau!

This is in a WWII Japanese wreck.


This is a Lion Fish.



This is an anemone fish -- a close relative of the clownfish (Nemo).




This is a Moray Eel.

 

This is a school of Pyramid Butterfly Fish.

 

This is a lobster!

 

This is a starfish.

 

This is a gorgeous dive called Blue Holes.


 

Here are some sharks...

 
 

 

This is actually a snorkelling trip to Jellyfish Lake, where the jellyfish have lost their ability to sting. Super cool.

 

Here's Randall diving down with the jellies.

 

Here's me and an anemone (complete with anemone fish!)

 

This is Randall and a giant sea fan (soft coral).

 

This is one of those puffer fish.

 

This is a Mandarin Fish.

 

This is a Harlequin Sweetlips.

 

This is a giant clam.

 

Here are some shots of the coolest thing we saw -- a Manta Ray. It had a 12-13 foot wingspan and was 8-10 feet from nose to the beginning of its tail.
