Petit Byahaut (July 15-17)

Trumpetfish in Petit Bayhaut bay (Jul 16, 2004, 10:22am)

Ballonfish hiding under a ledge (Jul 16, 2004, 10:28am) This fish caused a lot of excitment. Neither Daphne nor I had seen its like before, and once we got out of the water we want pouring through the fish identification books trying to figure out what we saw. By the way, we liked the fish identification books at Petit Byahaut so much that we bought the books for our own library (and also so we could accurately label the fish and coral from this trip). By the way, if you are interested, the book is The Reef Set (boxed set of 3 books), by Paul Humann and Ned Deloach.
