Here's what the eye looks like open:



Weird eh? You can see the nictating (sp???) membrane stored there at the bottom.

This is fun - great idea Justin! Here's a creolefish eye:



I took this one at the FGB back in 2003 - when I was using the Fuji S2pro.

Here's a sleeping parrotfish from that same dive - spooky moody eye:

seeing these pics makes me want to get a underwater housing for my 30D.. I'm only 4.5 hrs away from galveston but that water is pretty murky. Good job guys!

Hi James, I don't remember how I got here, but I'm here. BTW when we were in Wakatobi Yon was our guide. Says he was your guide in Bali. He's fantastic.

Hi George,

Yon guided for Sarah and I on our honeymoon in Bali. We dove all the sites on the North side of the island including 2 days at PJ. It was awesome.

I haven't been to Wakatobi and don't think I'll go there. It's not worth it.

Cheers
James
