This was taken at a cleaning station right next to where the shark feeding goes on (Shark Junction is the dive site.)

Hunting
This image was taken at Devils' Grotto.  I had hoped that a tarpon was coming through the hole in the silversides, but I got this Bar Jack instead. I was happy with it anyway.

Color
There is a lot of color on the Orange Canyon dive site, it is just a matter of lighting it to show to best advantage.

I took this at the Stingray City Deep dive site in a group of 15 people.  I was lucky in that there was enough current to blow away the worst of the silt they kicked up.

A banded Butterfly fish stopped swimming to check out my port...I think she saw her reflection in there.

So hard to get this photo well lit and in focus! Bravo!
Taken in Anilao, at the dive site called Coconuts. A yellow goby pair was very obvious on thee abandoned tube, so while going around the tube, we located the eggs they were so carefully guarding, eggs are about a day or two away from hatching.
