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.

I love Mantas. This shot was taken whilst snorkeling with them at Helengeli Thila. I made it B&W as I think Mantas lend themselves beautifully to this and it also helps get rid of some of the cloudiness of the water.

I played a game of hide and seek to get this shot. It's a blow to the ego to be outsmarted so many times by an animal smaller than your hand.
