My strobes stopped firing on this dive when this photo opportunity presented itself. I took a light meter reading off the background water and shot this on ambient light with my buddy shining a torch at the Manta. Valley of the Rays,YAP.

The wreck of S/S Molkte in the baltic sea. Time has taken it's toll on this once proud ship. Walls has broken down, creating swimthru's for divers. Image was shot with handheld camera, using Agfa Scala B&W 1600 iso.
Manate and free diver, Crystal River, Florida.
In cold and dark water, there is plenty of excitement to be found. Shot this picture on a wreck in 25 meters of water. Used a standard Sensia 200 to get the right kind of green colour.
I shot this beautiful coral formation for its graphic value on Phi Phi Le island, which was just devastated by the December 26 tsunami. In addition to countless deaths, including three within a friend's family, the sea life must be in shambles!
Image taken at about 10 feet depth while snorkelling in Cuban waters off Cayo Largo using Canon S400 in Canon underwater casing. No Flash used
I took this picture over Christmas Vacation on a trip to Crystal River, Florida. The water was cloudy (too many tourists), but it was nice and warm for mid winter! The manatees were very friendly and loved to be handled. It was a great trip!
I was able to swim along this turtle for quite a while while snorkeling on the Big Island of Hawaii at the City of Refuge. This turtle was not shy at all and I got quite a few shots before it swam just above the word aloha inscribed by fellow divers.
Snorkeling by some rocks outside my hotel in St. Marteen.
