Taken with a Canon Rebel Digital in Cozumel, Mexico. I was diving Santa Rosa Wall with my 100mm macro lens. Fortunately, the current gave me a break as I spied this anemone jutting out from the wall and hanging sadly downward.

On a conch-gathering dive near Puerto Aventuras, Mexico, I saw this massive spotted eagle ray nose dive to the ocean floor, scoop up a conch shell, crush it and chow down! Taken with a Ricoh Caplio RR30 in a Sea & Sea housing. Ambient light.

Attached to the ladder of the T&C Aggressor with my foot while taking shots of this Reef Shark just below the surface. He was incredibly curious as to what I was all about. The feeling was mutual! Rebel Digital/Aquatica/17mm/ambient light
