The machine-room of the Kalais. This beautyful wreck laying in only 30 meters depth will disappear because it is inside the ampliation area of the exterior mole of the harbour at Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. This picture was taken may 2004.

Red sea-horse. This is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. This animal was living a few years at the same place, and we visited it almost every time we went there. The photo has the original frame, and has no photoshop adjusts.

Jelly by night. This was a very lucky moment: I had attached the fisheye for that nightdive, a very unusual combination. Just entering the water we found this beautyful jellyfish. I think it will be very difficult to get such an opportunity again.

This is another of the winning portfolio in Eilat, Israel. Yes, a little bit of luck, but I think that this picture is much more than luck.

This is a very friendly big grouper called Felix by the local divers from Lanzarote. I've added a special effect with a long shutter time. Hope you enjoy it. More on my web artefotosub.com

Incredibly blue water around El Hierro, the most occidental of the Canary Islands. Picture taken at the last minute of the last dive of the regional championship, and part of the winning portfolio.
A little bit special gorgonian fan. Not the usual shape, but not so boring smile
Picture taken in the southeast of Gran Canaria, at -30 m.
Japanese Zero, for me the most photogenic plane-wreck of the world. Perfect size, almost intact, and nothing arround it disturbing. More pics on my web click here
