An incredibly lucky day whale watching in Monterey Bay. We followed a group of killer whales who were teaching their calf to hunt sea lions in the bay. Amongst other behaviours that we witnessed, there was frequent breaching.

we don't usually see models in silhouette
This Hawkbill turtle lives on this wreck. Photo was taken with Olympus Evolt E-300 with Fisheye lens and Inon Z240 strobe.
I shot this little beauty at Light House Reef off Lanai'i this past October in about 50' of water. I used an Olympus SP-350 utilizing its own flash. The camera was set at Under Water Macro. Case was an Olympus Underwater Case.
This turtle came up off the bottom at just the right time and swam right in front of me - it is framed by the wreckage of the Mala Boat Ramp
Harbor seal enjoys the winter sun, resting after a night of foraging in Monterey Bay. Photo taken in Elkhorn slough, California.
Giant fantasy puffer
Close up of a jelly that almost landed straight on my face as I was ascending to take a picture of a sunburst through some kelp. Unfortunately I had the ISO at 200 so it came out a lot grainier than I would have liked, but at least it came out smile
SEA LION AT CYPRESS PT. LOOKOUT
I found this beautiful ocean view on the 17 Mile Dr. in Pebble Beach, CA.
I waited 20 minutes for the Sea Lion (in the right corner) to come onshore while balancing on a skinny gate to overlook a cyclone fence.
Parrot fish on the Inside Reef at Lauderdale by the Sea
Kona Night Manta ray dive off the big island.
Great Barrier Reef Diving
SEA LIONS
I live in the Santa Cruz, California area and frequent the wharf often.
On this day I heard the sounds of Sea Lions barking as usual but this time when I looked over the side of the fence I was surprised to see just a sea of seals.
shortlistedShortlisted!
Diving the pilings of the Blue Heron Bridge, I came across this gorgeous star just "hanging around" - couldn't help but grab his image! Using a Stylus 700 in housing, no strobes, nothing special.
