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.

Seas with green water well north or south of tropical zones typically cold enough for drysuits!
A beautiful Port Jackson shark nestled into the reef keeping a close eye on me at Wynyard Tasmania. Taken with canon g7xii in wd-dc55 housing
A toothbrush leather jacket curiously checking out the reef. These leather jackets are aptly named for the bristles either side of the fish resembling a toothbrush
A sparsely spotted stingaree I found at boat harbour Tasmania. These small rays are common here and always inquisitive! I love spending time floating around with these stingaree and watching what they get up to!
This lionfish was resting at the brim of Seventh heaven Thila's reef. Located in the South Ari Atoll of the Maldives, it usually features strong currents and so lionfish sometimes perch between the rocks and corals to hide from the current.

Necora puber (velvet crab). In the North Sea most creatures try to blend in with their environment rather than stand out. I guess investing in bright colours is less rewarding in environments with lower visibility. (f/5, 1/250, ISO-200, 14mm). - Els

Hippocampus hippocampus (short-snouted seahorse). The visibility in the estuary of the river Scheldt ranges from 0 to max. 6 meters. Finding beautiful creatures like this makes it rewarding. (f/8, 1/80, ISO-250, 50mm). - Erik
Calico portraits are my favorite and as a relatively skittish fish I had been trying for so long to get one in a faceoff with my camera!

A pike in a lake in the Netherlands. In summer we can spot a lot of pikes. I still like that fish.
Seasquirts (Ascidiacea) in the 'Veerse Meer' in the Netherlands. Not the most impressive animals, but sometimes they are nice to take pictures of.

Pterois volitans (common lionfish) in action at Hurghada, Egypt the last week of October '21. (f/8, 1/30, ISO-200, 14mm). - Els
My favorite type of photographing under water is wide angle with model(s). This time we found a ball under water and that ball was not floating and not really heavy. Exactly fitting for some fun under water. It ended in trying to play volleyball.

Palaemon serratus (common prawn) seeking refuge in an empty oyster in the Scheldt estuary. Torch pointed from the left on the light background behind the oyster, leaving the prawn a bit in the shadow; no strobe. (f/4, 1/60, ISO-125, 16mm) - Erik
The famous bridge, ponte dei Salti above the Verzasca river in Lavertezzo in Switzerland. Sadly we had not the viz as it could be and a lot of current.
