One way to be popular with the fish is to take a bag of Cheerios with you when you snorkel.  Here we have a swarm of fish consuming the tasty breakfast cereal.  The long-nosed ones are ballyhoo; the dark ones are doctorfish, and the most numerous are yellow-tailed snapper.

Colorful parrotfish are abundant on the reefs.  If you listen, you can hear their hard teeth grinding the coral.  A queen parrotfish is on the left, a rainbow parrotfish on the right, and a midnight parrotfish below.

Queen angelfish add another splash of color to the reef.

Cushion starfish grow big as hubcaps... and there are even Jewish ones!

You never know what will bite.  This is a horse-eye jack that took the bait at 1AM.  That woke everybody up!  Too bad they aren't good to eat.

Of course, we catch some edible fish too.  Here's a 33-inch mackerel landed by a very happy scout from Fort Smith AR.
