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.

Puffer Fish taken off Mackay Reef Quensland. I swam with it for 30 mins to get this shot of the Puffer looking backwards at me along its body. Remarkably the eye is in focus but this is luck not judgement!
These blennies always disappear as soon as you approach, so i was very happy when i finally managed to get close enough for this shot.
Lembeh. Olympus C-5050 with Inon strobe.
Lionfish always are a great subject.
Lembeh, Indonesia. Olympus C-505 with inon strobe.
Taken with twin strobes in about 10m of water off Mackay Reef, Cairns, Australia. I took about 50 frames to get one with the lighting just like this. Off course Anenome shots are very common but I like to think this one stands out.
Hawaiian lionfish photographed at Nanakuli on the leeward side of Oahu, Hawaii.

Nice
Spotted ratfish photographed in Edmonds, Washington.
Regalia. Taken in Lembeh w/Nikon D70, 60mm lens & Inon Z220 strobes.
"Curious"
The nosestripe clownfish was darting in and out of the anenome so I picked my spot and waited for him to swim into shot.
I used a Nikon F-90X with 105mm Micro Lens in a NX-90 Sea & Sea Housing with twin YS-350 TTL Strobes.
