Schools of unicornfish fish look to Linda for a possible handout Videograph by Rich Torkington in Kosrae 2001

Also spied a nice bronze soldierfish underneath a ledge and a dusky angelfish. Once again, I will need to review the video to recount more fish species.

I am learning that taking the video camera on the dive is a really fun activity, and it adds a new dimension to looking forward to the sights on a dive. But in some ways it also subtracts from the total feeling of freedom during a dive, due to the attention it requires.

During the evening at Kosrae Village Resort, Katrina thoughtfully set up a television in the restaurant with A/V jacks. During dinner, we enjoyed reviewing the raw footage of the day’s dive video, with occasional applause from the assembly of viewers there.
