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.

This is the sort of shot that dive magazines like
Blennie in the snow. Hard to get good detail on this dark fish. Upping the strobe power blew out the white sand background. D2x. 105mm Woody's diopter
Dolphins in the Bay
Coral trout on velvet. Olympus 5050; single Inon 220s strobe.

Subject well defined by negative space Kristin
Shot with a 105mm but, I'm calling it W/A as the look of it is more wideangle. (so sue me ;-))
D2x
"I can Fly!!". During several dives, these flatworms would come swimming by. Looking like the'd consumed just a bit too much hooch. Cocos/Keeling Is.
D2x 105mm
Having a bit of fun safety stops.

Leopard blennies have eye-crossing camouflage that helps them blend with their corals and they are terribly skittish. I've had trouble getting just one and so was very happy to get this pair on my recent trip to Cocos Keeling Island (Australia).
