I snapped this with my cousin's Canon G10. Believe it or not, the deckhand in the white shirt is dry. The stern of the boat dropped when the swell passed it. The crest of the swell was between the boat and me. The deckhand was standing on a platform.
Red octopus at the bronze mermaid statue in Powell River, BC.
On one particular dive, we found quite a few giant barnacles with grunt sculpins living inside their exoskeleton. A safe haven for a little grunt!

This photo was taken above the surface of the water at the same time that I was beneath another surface of the water. The way energy takes form in water and how light is bent through the movement, I am reminded of a wormhole through time.
This lovely anemone fish was close to Hideaway Island, Vanuatu.

Used my Olympus SP350 setup to catch this Curious Mola Mola as it was being cleaned by Senorita fish, I drifted slowly up a kelp stalk and he cruised around to take a look at me, luckily he framed himself against the kelp allowing me a quick shot.
After playing hide and go seek under the kelp for 1/2 an hour he finally got comfortable enough with me to make contact by first tugging on my fins, then I rolled over and sat on the oceans bottom trying to get a good picture of this inquisitive seal
Red Lipped Batfish, Galapagos Islands
