Many wrasses, tangs, gobies, angelfish, green morays, grouper, snapper,many zoos, and ricodea. Belize and cayman should be nice.

Keep an out for the queen angel one of my favorites but hard to find. There kind of shy but when you see one in the wild with the sun shining on it, it almost looks neon like it's lit with a battery. Also keep an eye for the massive porcupine puffer. You won't believe how big they get in the wild. The queen trigger is pretty cool but don't get to close you might get bit. Oh and pick a fight with a damsel. It's hilarious. Just go up to them and sit there and they will start to attack you.

Just went snorkeling in Belize this spring. Look forward to huge heads of closed brain, gorgonians, hynophora (I think), angels, tangs, sea turtles. Should be a great trip. Enjoy and bring back pictures!
