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.

Manta feeding on Devil's Highway, 8 to 10 knot current, had to hide behind wall at 25' then launch upward when the manta passed overhead. Then kick very hard to prevent elevator ride from down current to 80'. Exciting is understatement
"School of Yellowfin Goatfish"
After a too long break from diving for about one year, I'm happy being back again! I enjoyed a nice trip to the Red Sea from where I brought new pictures. Especially from El Quadim Bay at El Quseir.
