Here is an expansion of Ian's answer. Dehn surgery on a hyperbolic knot or link generically gives another hyperbolic manifold. This follows from the Dehn surgery theorem; see Theorem 5.8.2 in chapter five of [Thurston's book][1]. Furthermore, the new manifold has smaller hyperbolic volume than the original. See Theorem 6.5.6 in chapter six. Some further discussion and references can be found in Ian's answer [here][2]. So: fix a hyperbolic link $L$ in the three-sphere with an unknotted component $C$. Surgering $L$ along $C$ gives an infinite family of hyperbolic links, all with volume less than that of $L$. For explicit pictures of this, see the last few pages of chapter five of Thurston's book. (Actually, the pictures go in the opposite direction -- he explains how the Whitehead link is the "geometric limit" of a sequence of twist knots.)
