"Choose Your Path"

"Solo Turtle"
A good sized Hawksbill claims his spot along a massive ridge. West Wall, Grand Cayman
"Mosaic"
With visibility less than ideal for the wreck dive, I decided to use my 100mm macro rather than a wide angle lens. It paid off when I spotted this Bearded Fireworm on a sea fan.
Reef Octopus on a day-time hunt.....
Crab with Purple eyes.....
"Suspended"
A Snorkeler prepares to duck under a small wave.
"Glide"
A Hawksbill descends after catching a couple breaths on the surface.
"The Beehive"
A sponge hangs out from a steep wall as divers pass overhead. If you look closely, you can see an arrow crab peeking out over the edge of the sponge.
