While this momma humpback and her calf while remained motionless at 60' deep, I freedove to 60' deep to photograph them. It was amazing they didn't care about me!. I use a Subal Housing with a Nikon D70, a Tokina 10-17 and a 1/125, f/5.6 ISO 200

Who is watching who ? I took place on the balcony on Roca Partida beside the sharks and made the shot, from the sharks perspective. Happy they were docile sharks.

I like the pattern of the shark skin. Must be seen in big format. Fortunately the shark was a kind shark :-)

Dolphins close at Roca Partida, wrong lens, should have used 8mm fisheye in stead of 14 mm. They got very close and are rather big :-)

This school of silky sharks stuck around roca partida for at least three weeks. They came from the blue again and again. The school seemed to be largest in the mornings.

We spent a lot of time with this whale shark....we watched as this Galapagos shark rubbed the underneath side of the whale shark. I've never seen anything like it...

I've seen many silhouette shots with whale sharks, but I like this one because you can observe the snorkelers interacting. It seems every diver silhouette has its own story.

An escort male pursues a momma and calf humpback whale. It only took a day before momma decided he didn't fit the bill. We found the momma and calf the next morning without the boyfriend.
