I would put it on the things to do list .BTW i forgot to add that i now know why you wouldnt want to put a tang in a tank smaller that the ocean.Most of these fish where huge....im talking 12"+ .The size of the erchin was about the size of a basketball and im not exagerating,so just picture the size of the trigger.

Just wondering b/c i took a cruise with -- which went to the same locations and some of the stuff in the pics (airplane/ship looked similar). I also saw a baracuda they are awsome up close.

yes it would! It seems you saw more than i did while snorkeling there. I did see a small blue jellyfish though. It was before i was obsessed w/ this hobby so i would probably enjoy it even more now. Anyways great pics they are definately better than the ones i took there.

Did you go out beyond the natural rock barrier to the deeper water? Thats where all the good stuff was.

PMed ya back

all the pictures are from Bahamas except the Dolphin photos. Cozumel was much nicer and the water was undescribable.

That fish my friend is the Yellowtail Snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus). It is by far the best tasting fish there is. I release 99% of the fish I catch. Not those sandwiches
