The morning stretch (dondice occidentalis)

A fluke shot of a Humpback Whale off Lahaina, Maui. These mammals travel from Alaska to give birth and train their young. They are often escorted by a male, not sure if this is a male or female.

Molasses Reef dive. This was in about 25 feet of water in Key Largo, Molasses Reef. The elkhorn colonies are amazing there.

Blending in like a ninja.

Deep water Atlantic Scolymia coral

Sea Turtle at 80 feet. We were at about 80 feet when this turtle approached us and swam along side us for a couple minutes. It seemed he was curious about us.

Once in a lifetime chance! A mother Humpback Whale stops by for a visit while diving off Molokai off the coast of Maui. This was more stunning than the Hammerheads we saw. These beautiful mammals make a long journey to Hawaii to raise their calves.

This Queen Angel fish was found off Miami Beach in about 40 feet of water. One of my favorite marine fish, the colors are striking and one of my favorites to photograph.

We discovered a rare blanket octopus on Molasses Reef in Key Largo. This is one of about a dozen photos I took of this rare creature. This is the blanket octopus in it's closed position.

I took a very rare photo of a blanket octopus. These are nearly impossible to find as they mainly stay in the gulfstream. This was in about 30 feet of water off Key Largo.
