Moose Horn Coral

I thought this dive would be a "bust" without strobes, but, was pleasantly surprised.

1/250 at f8 with Tokina 10-17. This shot at 10mm and as I looked up I saw the diver swimming back to the boat and waited for him to go through the sun ball.

Jim was still recovering from surgery and couldn't dive on our last trip to Little Cayman, so I took his camera down and had a great time. One of my favorite shots was this little Arrow Blenny, about 1 inch long.

Peek-a-boo

Scrawled Filefish from Little Cayman Island. Jim was recovering from surgery and couldn't dive on this trip, so I took his D300 down and had a blast with it.

Another curious turtle..

Blue Tang - I took this image on a dive on Pageant Beach Reef in Grand Cayman. I used an Olympus 790 SW with the built in flash. The exposure was f/5 at 125 of second, ISO of 160.

Sea anemone. The photo was taken in Grand Cayman in December 2008 on an Olympus 790 SW with the built in flash. The photograph was shot at f 5.0 at 1/125 of a second. The focal length was 20 mm.

I am used to diving the Asia Pacific region where anemones are very common, but in The Caribbean they are not so common so I shot this with a black background and was delighted with the colours the strobes brought out.

Elysia pratensis from the Cayman Islands. These little sea slugs are very rare in the Caribbean, so I was really lucky to spot this one.

Usually these French Angel Fish are very skittish but after ten minutes or so they got used to me and as they were really interested in eating a sponge they kept coming back to me. I settled down for a long wait and finally was rewarded.

I have been working on my CFWA, especially the lighting and the blues.

45 minutes of lying in the sand in one 3 foot section of reef and I finally got this shot. I thought my subject was pretty patient too....

I'm always looking for unusual shapes and angles and this solitary sponge on the pinnacle at Babylon really attracted me.

Shot on a workshop in Grand Cayman. I was sitting at the bottom of a cave shooting straight up.

Schoolmaster Snapper (Lutjanus apodus) in the Cayman Islands.

Trumpetfish on Little Cayman Island in the Caribbean Sea.

Sailfin Blenny (Emblemaria pandionis). Sailfins are not rare in the Cayman Islands, but this is the only one I've ever seen completely out of its tube and with its sail up. I only got one shot before it disappeared.
