This guy was waiting for us as my wife and I surfaced after a dive. He just sat there as I swam closer and closer but hardly seemed to notice me.

So common here I pass them by all the time but .....

There are lots of invasive lion fish in the area where I'm diving right now. Since they don't move much they make good subjects to practice underwater skills for a beginner.

This photo was taken with a Canon G12 in an Ikelite housing. Only the on-camera strobe was used. I took dozens of photos of anemones over several dives before I started getting anything decent. This is one of my first passable shots.

Many people see the underwaterworld as an alien place. With this silhouet the diver comes across as a sinister "War of the worlds-like" preying on an innocent puffer fish.

Bruce's ( Not in the hospitality business) Frogfish. 64 FSW. This girl likes to have her photo taken. She was on the same coral head for two months and may still be there.

Just south of the Rappel mooring,a shelf between the shore and the blue, in 25' we found this Marlin, 6’ sticking out of a small cave under an overhang, 6’ + and the spike are jammed in the hole. How did it get stuck, was it chasing food? suicide?
