Natural light at the Aliwal Shoal. Great visibility (around 10 meters), but it's a one shoot picture, because of the huge current that day

Two Clown triggerfish getting a bit territorial and chasing past a surprised surgeonfish.

Shortlisted!

I was recovering from a shooting a whip coral goby in a strenuous position when I saw this interaction just a bit above me. The Angelfish kept returning even when the wrasse was nipping it a bit painfully from time to time.

I love the way that light changes the scene underwater from a drab blue grey to these contrasting bright colours. Horseshoe Hawkfish in coral

Facial- I needed a yellow mouthed eel to replace a bungled shot in my portfolio for the Sodwana Shootout 2015 on the last day. Found this one with two minutes dive time left

Reef Busy-ness

found thsi almost transparent littel fish in the weeds at the end of a dive on Rooneys, Sodwana. I initially thought it was a pipe fish but is was too small to see. Only when processing the pictures, could I see that it was a small trumpetfish.

Shot off Scottburgh in the region of Aliwal Shoal in blue water while diving with ScubaXcursions.
