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.

Ahhhh!
Tunnels, Kauai. I heard there's a resident white tip and poked in every cave until I found him with an endemic hawaiian cleaner wrasse, Labroides phthirophagus. Aircraft-like framing on just the tail was the point of the shot.
Flame File Clam - Our divemaster on the liveaboard told us to look for this clam that displays a type of electrical charge that looks like a blue zigzag lightening bolt (visible at top right of clam). Great Barrier Reef, Australia, housed Nikon N50.
Black Cheek Moray , Baa Atoll , Maldives . Normally the Morays reputation for aggression is unfounded but in this species case it rings true . They are fairly diminuitive though - I think its the old small , angry man thing going on.
' Out Fishing ' - Nikon F90x, 105mm , Nexus Housing
Arrow Crab in Sponge - on the hull of the Wreck of the Maj Gen Rogers USVI. Shot in macro mode at 4 inches - 50 ASA setting/Auto Shutter/Auto Flash with diffuser. Shot with Canon S500 on Nov 15, 2004.
Discodoris Atromaculata
Shot in Cyprus Zephyros Reef down in 18 meters with internal flash
Rhinopias, photo taken in Manado, Indonesia. Nikon F90X, 60mm
Purple kiss. Derewan MMIII. Seemed a shame to interrupt their fun but ...
Fingerprint Cyphomas Mating - This shot was taken in less than 6 feet of water while snorkeling on Smith Reef, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, Nikonos V, 35mm lens, 1:1 extension tube.
'The Poacher'
Bluey - MMIII Derewan. Loved the colours and posture of this nudi and if you look closely there's a bonus fish in bottom left of photo
Bonaire October 2004-I was really trying to get the shrimp.
Juv Moray Eel shot on paradise 3, Mabul . the beatiful colors of this juvenile are only kept for a few weeks .
Nature's tapestry! Skin and tentacles of an octopus shot on a dive in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Canon EOS Rebel Digital / Aquatica / 100mm macro lens / Dual DS125 strobes / lots of patience!!!
Leopard Blenny , Mabul , Malaysia . The white spots lend this subject very well to shallow depth of field.
Moray eels photographed in Manado, Indonesia. Nikon F90X, 60mm
Strange blue crab carrying stinging anemone on his back. Kalimantan - Indonesia
This picture was taken during a night dive at Sipadan island ,the Spidercrab was using a algea string to move along .Interesting behavior which is the same with land spiders.Nikon D70 60mm Macro Sea &Sea Housing.
Pigmy Seahorse , Borneo . Anyone who has tried to photograph this subject knows how shy the pigmy can be . I tried to capture this character in my shot.

It's a 'Barbie' seahorse!
Beautiful tube worm taken from shore in Cienfuegos, Cuba. I used F8 to get some blurry feel to it.
