This shot was taken in just 2 metres of water in Nuweiba. There was a huge baitball circling the jetty there being herded by a single lionfish. This was taken using my Canon S95 with a fisheye lens using the underwater mode.

Swimming with a Giant Pacific Manta Ray is one of my favourite experiences. These gentle giants are truly inspiring to be with. It was taken in the Socorro Islands with a Fuji Finepix, Inon Fisheye Lens and an Inon D2000 Strobe at Roca Partida.

I found this jellyfish whilst finishing a local house reef dive off Sharm, I'd always wanted a picture of these, although my fellow divers in the group weren't too chuffed at the time I took to get this shot!

I found it harder to photograph these subjects as they move much faster than you think. Luckily, this baby whale wouldn't leave us alone whilst snorkelling near to Mounu Island, Vavau'a in Tonga.

I was on a nightdive and the golden glow of the Lionfish at the Pier in Nuweiba really caught my eye. I wanted to give the subject a kiss of light to portray this and the fin shape. Taken with a Canon Powershot 570 and an Inon D2000 strobe.
