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.

You don't see people's expressions much underwater so this shot is even more refreshing
Girl in fishing village near Wakatobi.
Pair of Crinoid Clingfish. No Crinoids were manipulated in taking this photo!
Zebra Crab - Another species that lives with the fire urchin. Some eggs are just visible under the carapace. Despite the gaudy colours they are actually quite well camouflaged
Coleman Shrimp - This species usually found in pairs in association with the fire urchin. They clear a spot on the urchin of spines where they live.
Thorny Seahorse with a brittlestar on its neck
Gurnard Lionfish, quite a stunning fish
Managed to get very close to a school of silversides and they all decided to stick together especially for this shot!

Pretty in Pink. Taken with Oly E330 and one Ike DS125 aimed from below.
"The Featherstar Dance" Some kids from the neighboring village came to swim above us to see what we were doing. Taken with an Oly E330 + dual Ike DS 125s. The shot was taken from directly below, bubble management was a bit of a challenge.
Pompom anemone. Taken at night with an Oly C8080 and YS25 S&S strobe.
