Are you in the virgin islands now?? Where did you spot the spotted eagle ray?? Way cool!

Also, what camera are you using?? I have the new Panasonic Lumix and my pictures were a little disappointing. I think before I bring it back I need to check the settings. Some pictures were blurred. At any rate . . . your pictures are fab.

Hi XOXO

We were on the island from Thanksgiving until Dec 7.

I took the underwater pictures with my Canon Powershot D10 waterproof camera. It works great! I got in on Amazon for about $220.

I almost said "please don't tell me the D10". That was my 2nd choice. There have been a few forumites who had problems with the D10 so I choose my Lumix. I think I am going to bring it back and get the D10 because the quality of my pictures aren't what I was hoping for.

Holy sea creatures, Batman. Those pictures are tremendous. Now I am obligated to check out available villas for our next trip.

I'm jealous! In 8 trips we've never spotted one!

Nice Dan, seen my first eagleray a few trips back at Haulover South. They really are beautiful graceful creatures. Wasn't it an awesome feeling when you seen it. Hey I put it in picasa and hit I feel lucky to show you how much it improves the pic.
