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.

'Drive-by'
Curious cowfish from a night dive at Sunset Reef in Grand Cayman.
Best viewed enlarged to see the full scene. I framed the flamingo tongue close to the dome and used one strobe to light it, then lit the reef in the background with the other strobe.

Inside the Kittiwake
"Illumination" - There are lots of beautiful swim throughs in Cayman, but I wanted to photograph more than just blue light coming through the back. When I came upon this conch shell in one of the swim throughs, I saw the photo I'd been waiting for.

"Choose Your Path"
A coralscape taken on a dive site around the Northwest Side of Grand Cayman. It is not visited often due to weather, so a real treat for conditions like this.
"Solo Turtle"
A good sized Hawksbill claims his spot along a massive ridge. West Wall, Grand Cayman
"Mosaic"
"Suspended"
A Snorkeler prepares to duck under a small wave.
"Glide"
A Hawksbill descends after catching a couple breaths on the surface.
"The Beehive"
A sponge hangs out from a steep wall as divers pass overhead. If you look closely, you can see an arrow crab peeking out over the edge of the sponge.

That's a great shot. Nice work on the composition here. Underexposing the background was the key to this image.

Bluffing - this octo was trying to scare us away.
We were diving the wreck of the Tibbetts for a photo course and I loved seeing all the focus as I was ascending ... truly a wonderful sight.
