What can I say, I love seahorses.

TIger Beach is patrolled by Tiger Sharks and the Lemon Sharks, this Tiger comes in to investigate!

A cruising eagle ray at Cocos Island gets the attention of an inquisitive diver.

Something ethereal about the back lighting of this Hairy Blenny caught by surprise in a cross fire of lights which dubiously occured as a result of several photographers trying to photograph a seahorse on the other side of my subject.

I love Seahorses. So delicate. The intricasies within their design reveal only more design.

Eye to eye with a Reef Shark at El Dorado Reef - Bahamas

Underside of a Jellyfish

A Male Dragonet displaying colors and lips trying to make himself handsome for the girls. This was the first time I'd seen one turn whitish.

I find close up shots very revealing. For example -this shrimp has a forked tongue- very strange eyes.

Waiting to be released! This baby green sea turtle was found on the beach cold stunned. He was spending the day warming up at the Sea Turtle Preservation Society while waiting to be released that evening.

I just love how on a night dive you will come upon a habitat with several of these "punk rocker" decorator crabs. Each one's apparel is fancier than the next... as if they are trying to out-do one another!

The most graceful creature in the sea is a Spotted Eagle Ray. They avoid divers' bubbles. I waited as it came thru the bridge and held my breath. 8 ft across, it moved swiftly. Then it slowed. As it was right upon me, I gasped for air & it took off.

Green Razor in full dress... eyeing the camera.

This image of a Reef Shark was taken during a dive at Ginormous Reef off the Bahamas. The rain made a bit of texture to the surface. I was doing my safety stop with some friends!

Feeding Lemon sharks keep all but the brave away from the dive ladder.

Close up of a Banded Coral Shrimp - It really does have a clownsy looking face. Murder to get a straight on shot of him, but patience is a virtue.
