Diving on a rebreather at Cocos Island means the animals get really close. I had to wedge myself into the rocks and out of the killer current in order to take this shot - Nikonos RS and 1 SB104

What a treat to find these dramatic Coleman's shrimp in a (relatively) slow moving Fire Urchin. A Zebra Crab was on board the same urchin, but couldn't be coaxed into the frame. D100 and 105 in a Titan housing.

The dive sites in Rinca near Komodo are rich with these gorgeous, freaky critters. Happily for photographers, the background is often equally colorful. This Crested Nembrotha nudibranch would fit right in as a Dr. Seuss character.

On a trip to the Socorros, it seemed the mantas were delighted by the feeling of our bubbles, and came back to hover above us repeatedly. This manta, being cleaned by two clarion angelfish is really right on top of me. Nikonos RS and 13mm lens.

I don't think Riley really needs to breathe. He's the most relaxed child in the water, preferring to swim under it rather than on top of it - usually with a dolphin kick. He's also a huge ham, thus a very willing model for underwater photos. D100

On Cherie's Reef in Milne Bay, PNG, the water was so teeming with life that I didn't know where to point the camera. Sea fans, chrinoids, gorgonians and tubastrea coral stand out in lush relief against a backdrop of schooling fish.
