A common cuttlefish with a bit of special illumination...

Videomaker in "Doria" wreck in Azores Islands.
In 1980's I and my team explored some wreks in Azores Island, in tthe middle of Atlantc Sea, one of this was the " Doria". It is not the famous "Andrea Doria" sunken in Nantuket near New York.

A night active tube anemone. There's a large field of these beautyful animals covering the sand in 8-12 m depth in front of Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote.

Comb seastar, Lanzarote, Canary Islands

THE EYE. Eye of a cuttle fish. I found this girl putting her eggs into a very tiny crevice in the rocks, and after a moment to get sure that I wouldn't harm her, she continued with her work allowing me to approach very close

SYMMETRY. The feathers of a spiral worm, extended into the current to catch plancton.

Which is more beautiful? Coral? Blue angelfish? Small living creatures? ... Beautiful living reefs and cheap diving.

The eye in the sand. Greater weever buried in the sand waiting for some "food" passing by.

Shortlisted!

Bumblebee shrimp, Gnatophyllum elegans. A very common species, but difficut to see, and more difficult to find one well placed to take a good picture of it.

Caulerpa, a very beautyful algae. I wonder why there are only very few such pictures on contests or forum. May be swimming things are more interesting...

Light and shadow. Anemone (Telmatactis cricoides) with selective illumination.

The Phantom. A small scorpionfish with selective illumination.
Shortlisted!

Blennies - Sesimbra - Baía da Armação / Feb 6th - "Oh dear, oh dear...I reckon it's one of those underwater photography dudes. What is he doing here in a day like this?!"
Shortlisted!

Disco crab!!! Arrow crab in front of an anemone. I adjusted a very narrow DOP to get the anemone completely blured. So the tips appear just as blue spots.

Incredibly blue water around El Hierro, the most occidental of the Canary Islands. Picture taken at the last minute of the last dive of the regional championship, and part of the winning portfolio.

A little bit special gorgonian fan. Not the usual shape, but not so boring
Picture taken in the southeast of Gran Canaria, at -30 m.
