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.

Multicolor dendronotid (Dendronotus diversicolor). Canon G10.
Very candid photo shot at the moment the diver was reacting to a tap on the shoulder to warn them of the encounter. Notice the direction of the bubbles, truly a horrific surprise at 50 feet safety check!
A smiling Galapagos sea lion in his natural habitat - a park bench. I wanted to give this cute little guy some money, but he'd probably just spend it on alcohol.

Yes Larissa, but do you also have a shot of C3PO ? :-)
Crinoids at night.
Free diving with mantas scooping up delicious plankton in shallow waters in Fiji (Yasawa islands). Shoot downwards just below the surface while free diving, everything naturally lit by the sun from above. Nikon D300 with 10,5 fish eye, no strobes.
I aproached as possible as I could to get a pic of them on the sand, but as soon as felt my presence they started to move in circles...
Confrontation
This picture was taken with a Sealife DC1000 on August 8, 2010 at sharks cove on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The picture is a of a moorish idol and it is zoomed. I tried to get closer, but the fish swam under the reef.
