2024 has been the year of the bait ball in Bonaire.  This tired turtle is looking for a place to rest, oblivious of the cyclone of big eye scan just meters away.  Shot with a Nikon Z8/Nauticam housing/INON z330 strobes.

Hey Hotlips!
Something in my Eye !!! Puffy Eye.... Taiwan...
This is the real Tompot Blenny - my last shot I downloaded was intended to be this one but by mistake I used an image of a fan coral ...oopps... Hope you like this one
Trumpetfish are common in the Caymans, but this was a head-on shot, giving a little different view.
Nikon D70 with 60mm lens.
Emperor Angelfish , Hurghada / Red Sea
Love the contrast of this lionfish with the blue background... no photoshop on this picture. Yap...
Bannerfish taken at sharks bay , i used an olympus E300

This little (5 cm) Yellowface Pikeblenny was a rare find on Little Cayman. They're uncommon to begin with, and to find one swimming on the sandy bottom was a real treat!
Nikon D70 with 105mm lens.
Juvenille Queen Angelfish under a tiny ledge. I couldn't avoid the green weed getting in the way slightly, but it does add depth to the photo.
Napoleon Wrasse. Taken on my last dive in Palau at Blue Corner.
Bannerfish close up i use an Olympus E300
Moody Stonefish reminded me of my mother-in-law smile Taiwan North East Coast.
Don't worry. Be happy!! Juvenile puffer taken at Pertmina Pier.
French angel. Olympus 3030, Nikonos SB 105
It's up to the viewer to interpret: is this a yawn or a defensive pose?

Eeny weeny fish.. love the colour of his sofa.. Palau...
Royal angelfish taken with an olympus c60
Pigmy Seahorse taken in Lembeh North Sulawesi Indonesia
Mouthful. Lizard Fish that managed to catch a puffer fish. Watched this for about 10 minutes then went off looking for something else only to be told by the guide after the dive that the puffer fish got away in the end.
Lizard Fish a little intimidating from this angle? taken at Maeda Point.
Comb jelly taken off Atauro Island with Olympus C8080
