Beverly Speed is outa control ... compare her images from earlier in the week (bottom of the page) with what she is getting now!  Very great impovement ... THAT'S what Photo Week is all about!

Bev Speed is at it again.  With 6 hours of bottom time yesterday ...

Pipefish ... notice how the detail stands out with a black background.	A file fish in soft coral.  To the naked eye this fish is very bland and blends extremely well with the soft coral!	Harlequin Ghost Pipefish
Look closely at whip coral - there are always fish and shrimps living on it!	Christmas Tree Worm ... again, notice the detail you get with the dark background.	Clown Frog Fish

Vickie Coker got lucky with a sleepy leaf fish!  She caught him yawning.  She also took advantage of the long arms on her housing and was able to backlight the leaf fish.

Amy Horowitz is rocking the Casbah ... with her D70 Digital Camera!  Well, it's not hers yet ... it's a loaner ... just one of the great benefits of Photo Week.	Way to go, Amy!!  This is a fabulous turtle shot.	The eels here are on a very strange dental plan!
A Mantis Shrimp ...	What a poser ... frog fish love to have their photo taken!	This is the Picachu Nudibranch!

Lion Fish are quite abundant here!  In the evenings it's easy to catch them feeding in your dive lights!!	Sail Fin Goby ... oh, yeah ...	Beverly Speed is at it again!!  Actually, I have offered to just put a bed in the dive shop for her since that seems to be where she is spending all of her time!
When you look closely at anemones you will find all sorts of critters living in them!!	Sipadan is famous for many things ... including huge schools of fish.

Donna Graham and Glenda Pruner really know how to rub it in to their friends back home!!

		Michael Gerber isn't having any trouble finding subjects to shoot!  These are some of his first images at Sipadan Water Village.  Note the spectacular sunset ... the sunrises are just as beautiful!!

This is a juvenile Parrot Fish (believe it or not!!).  This little guy (about 1 1/2 inches long) was found on  Sipadan where we had plenty of other great photo ops!!  There must have been 100 turtles ... honest!  They were everywhere!  The schools of bat fish were very friendly and curious.  Oh - and did I mention the hammerhead?!  Yes - we have white tips and a hammerhead.  There is always a nice assortment of reef fish around Sipadan.  But, the first dive or two that you do on Sipadan - you are so overwhelmed by the numbers of turtles that it's hard to actually see anything else!

This turtle came from Sipadan Island - Of course!!	Rick Scott got these images from the first dive day.  Rick is a veteran diver at Sipadan Water Village ... this is his 6th trip to the Water Village!!  Yes - count 'em ... 6 times!!  Hey - when it's THAT good, you just can't get enough!!	There are several kinds of shrimps that you will find in Bubble Coral ... just get close and keep looking!
Orang Utan Crab on Bubble Coral	One of the many, many clown fish in an anemone!	The nudibranchs are beautiful and plentiful.

The anemones are tricky - but Bev's patience paid off with a nice shot!	Beverly Speed was the lucky one who found the Blue Ring Octopus today!!The rest of us are VERY jealous!	The gobies are a highlight of Sipadan Water Village ... so many gobies, so little time!!
This is one of the most beautiful of the nudibranchs!  It's easy to shoot here because there are so many of them!!		This is what you call "up close and personal".  A white tip shark shows off his pearly whites.
