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.

This portrait fills the frame very nicely
A tiny (2 in., max) blue chromis shot at French Cay in Turks & Caicos. If he only understood that all I wanted was a few photographs he wouldn’t have exhausted himself trying to attack me! Canon Rebel Digital,100mm macro lens,Aquatica A300,Ikelite 125s
Lionfish, Red Sea, Nikonos V, 28 mm+close-up lens
Actually there were two of these Cardinals kissing each other, but, I took too long to get the focus correct! So only one left!
