I'm still working on identifying many of the fish I photographed, but I'll post any decent photos I have in hopes that there will be help out there somewhere.  I bought a Nikon Coolpix AW120 just for this day and the initial photos were a bit disappointing.  I didn't have my white balance adjusted for use under water (not sure what the best setting is) with with a little help from PhotoShop I was able to salvage most of my pics to where I could at least see what I had taken photos of.
