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.

There is nothing more humbling than being approached by such a magnificent creature on it's own turfs and terms. This humpback calf swam with us for a few minutes before disappearing with a few flicks of it's tail.

Magic number - A mother Humpback, her new born calf and an escorting male turn in unison approaching the lens. A heart pounding moment on a day when the curiosity of these whales was exposed with great natural light and superb visibility. Ha'apai.
1 second to impact with a 4 tonne baby Humpback Whale. Ouch!
Mother and calf pair taken in vava'u, Tonga - this timid calf kept away from us but was in constant touch of mum and the obvious affection displayed was wonderful to see.
