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.

I don't think Riley really needs to breathe. He's the most relaxed child in the water, preferring to swim under it rather than on top of it - usually with a dolphin kick. He's also a huge ham, thus a very willing model for underwater photos. D100
Black Tip Reef Shark. Taken whilst snorkeling in Maldives, most blacktip's don't hang around too long but this guy was interested in something!! Housed Nikon D70
Not a dive for the faint of heart, Alcyon's raging current at Cocos Island, Costa Rica brings in thousands of schooling hammerheads. Nikonos RS and a 20-35mm lens.

Good subject, well studied
On a conch-gathering dive near Puerto Aventuras, Mexico, I saw this massive spotted eagle ray nose dive to the ocean floor, scoop up a conch shell, crush it and chow down! Taken with a Ricoh Caplio RR30 in a Sea & Sea housing. Ambient light.
