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.

"Goddess on her throne"
A purple crown sea goddess on the move. Shot with constant light.
'What Lies Beneath' - Southern stingrays in the shallow waters off the coast of Grand Cayman

an unlikely friendship.
'On The Lowdown' - Southern stingrays glide just over the sandbar off the coast of Grand Cayman
Just keep swimming.

The Groupers in Little Cayman are very friendly, let you get up close and personal.

Great creative shot
Tarpon hunting silversides
I wish the Cayman grottoes would be filled with silversides once more.
Devil's Grotto, July 2013 (the last year of big numbers)
'Spectral' - A southern stingray on the sandbar off the coast of Grand Cayman
'On One Breath' - A freediver ascends from the wreck of the Kittiwake off the coast of Grand Cayman
Colorful Ceilings
Inside the cut out in the iron shore known by local dive guides as the Ballroom.
"Big Green"
A large Green Sea Turtle makes its way over a shallow reef on the North Side of Grand Cayman.
Fantasea Red Filter
I prepared my camera with a fisheye lens, but with my extension ring on the port to create a false vignette. I was hoping for some larger marine life to utilize this effect. Perfect for when a goliath grouper--unusual for Cayman--showed up!
'Cleaning House' - The tiny eyes of pederson cleaner shrimp in the waters off of Grand Cayman
Stingray in flight
Ready to spread my wings
Southern stingray at the sandbar

Incredible over/under shot taken at exactly the right time!
A colorful goby models for the camera atop star coral. I used a very shallow depth of field to focus only on the goby's eyes, and to make the rest of its translucent body blur into the backgruound.
'Catching Some Rays' - Southern stingrays enjoying the warm, clear waters of Grand Cayman
shortlistedShortlisted!
'Out On A Limb' - A flamingo tongue cowrie off the coast of Grand Cayman
Face to Face
When you are the biggest creature cruising around at any given moment you have the right of way. This large Loggerhead Turtle just kept his chosen path and it was up to me to snap this shot and roll out of the way.
