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.

Does anyone know what kind of fish this is?

Closed anemone with clownfish, taken at Anemone city Ras Mohamed Park
Close encounters of the third kind... Taken on the safety stop after a night dive. Not really fiddled with, apart from removing annoying specks from the background.

Wow, who needs photoshop with fish like these!?
Blue banded goby seeking protection from a sea urchin. Catalina Island, CA. Taken on April Fool's Day.
Neon Gobies share a trait with a cousin called the Sharknose Goby. The name comes from their noses which look like, you guessed it, shark's noses. This shot I think caught that aspect...
Lizard fish that didn´t run away.
Frogfish taken with Olympus Evolt 300 and FL20 strobe.
Community anemone!
Chromodoris bullockis doing what comes naturally!
Close up on part of a school of bait fish off Gozo, using external epoque strobes.
Leaf Fish with Protruding mouth.
We happened upon this leaf fish where we I happened to change over to full manual. When he open his mouth the second time I happened to be focused and ready to take a picture. To my surprise it came out beutifully.
