It's good to see a virgin wreck
This image is a lucky shot, but I love it - the choppy conditions kept washing water high up the housing dome, but although only half the Stingray is showing, I think it looks like it is surfing the wave. Natural light with 'Magic' red filter.
Yellow sponges
CFWA of yellow & red sponges set against the glorious blues looking up from Babylon, the Cayman dive site well known for its amazing colours.
Southern Stingray. Natural light with red filter
Shot with olympus EPL-!
The eye of a Conch peeking out from his shell
Southern Stingrays cruising over a shallow sand bar to the North of Grand Cayman. The split is part photoshop manipulated to correct some dome splashing in the heavy swell.
