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.

Exploding Ears Manta Photo

I nearly blew my ears out of my head snapping this picture. The manta was so big it literally pushed me down through the water column as I waited for it to position itself in the sun.

Bulldog Impression taken Dec. '04 Puerto Vallarta
During a night dive in Lembeh Straits I came upon this cowfish.
A Hermit Crab taken during a shore dive in Cozumel. Stunning subject. Set the strobe on it's lowest setting and underexposed the subject by almost 2 stops.
Night Dive - Truk Lagoon (Chuuk) Heian Maru. Sponges & Zoanathids look spectacular at night
Nikonos V 15mm lns. SB 105's Kodak Ektachrome 64
Anacapa Island, CA. Harbor seals lined the kelp for each of the four December dives, and this one kept a wary eye on us from behind. I like how portrait-like his expression is, even a bit sad...it adds to the distance of the 3/4 shot.

Nice study of a cute subject
Blow fish looking for A snack, so it just took A chunk out of my buddy's finger.
taken with A hp320, in natural light in 40ft of water, near sarasoda, fl.
Whale Shark - Maldives. D100 - Tried to see a different angle than the usual "portrait with mouth open" pic. Had lots of fun with the creature which stayed with us for an hour.
Diver for diner?
Sony cybershot with external flash. Bida Nok, South Thailand
Cheeky Cuckoo Wrasse! These guys have so much character! Housed D70.
As I swam past this coral head in Cozumel, I didn't realize how much color was there until after capturing the image. Then I saw on my digital camera screen the full spectrum of intense colors the strobe popped out,
Hawksbill.
Photograph taken during a dive in French Cay,Turks & Caicos Islands.This beautifull hawksbill turtle was just swimming over the edge of the reef,I had the luck to have his company for more than ten minutes.

here's how you shoot a jelly without the sun behind. Note the small fish in the tentacles.
I photographed this shark in Bora Bora in May 2004 with a digital Olympus 4040 in a Tetra housing. A DX90 strobe gave the bit of lighting on his face.
D-70 wih two strobes. On a shark feed dive in Fiji, this guy showed up on the way to the surface. Swam right in front of me and looked great.
Lionfish taken at Beqa Lagoon, Fiji. D-70 in Ikelite housing, two stobes with diffuser on 2nd strobe. It posed very nicely for me.
