We had near perfect conditions while diving in Key Largo. With the sun at just the right angle, I caught this shot just before it was time to end the dive.
I was doing my hang after a gorgeous dive in West Palm Beach when I noticed this colossal moon jellyfish pulsating over my head. This was one photo op I simply couldn't pass up!
This Green Turtle was posing sweetly for me when I was diving in the beautiful waters of Cozumel.
This shot was taken in Cozumel. I was first attracted to these sponges by their brilliant color, but when I got closer, I was pleasantly surprised to find a sprawling brittle star on the inside of the sponge on the right!
I took this shot of a gorgeous sunset from the Caribe Blu Hotel in Cozumel.
It was a perfect way to end a perfect day of diving!
This sweet-looking Gray Angelfish swam right up to my camera lens while diving at Columbia shallows in Cozumel.
I shot this image of a West Indian Manatee at Blue Spring State Park in central Florida. Fortunately, is was a clear sunny day so there was plenty of ambient light available for good exposure.
I used a Nikonos V with a 15mm lens to capture this shot of a graceful manatee coming up for air at Blue Springs State Park in central Florida.
I took this shot of the sun setting from behind the Caribe Blue Hotel just after we completed an awesome shore dive. This beautiful sight was the perfect way to finish off a great afternoon of diving in Cozumel.
Jellyfish Lake in Palau, Micronesia. Thousands of Mastigius Jellyfish inhabit this land-locked lake in Palau. Since they have no natural enemies, they've lost their ability to sting.
I took this upward shot of a diver feeding a stingray at the infamous 'Stringray City' in the Cayman Islands.
Close-up of a friendly octopus taken at Phil Foster Park in West Palm Beach, FL.
Veiled in Blue. I purposely unexposed this shot of a sea fan and soft corals to give it a more dramatic effect. This shot was taken last August in Bonaire.
I took this photo of a huge tarpon hanging out at Salt Pier in Bonaire. He was one of about six different tarpon who seemed to be with us for the entire dive.
This huge barracuda let me get unbelieveably close! I took this shot near the end of my dive at Molasses Reef in the Florida Keys.
Dancing in the Night. I took this picture of Orange Cup Coral dancing with the flow of the current during a night dive in Bonaire.
The Wreck of the Doc Poulson in the Cayman Islands. The crystal clear blue water of the Cayman Islands allowed me to get this well contrasted shot of the Doc Poulson.
Diver admires a brilliant orange barrel sponge. I took this photo on a wall dive at beautiful Klein Bonaire where there are many huge colorful sponges that often leave divers staring in wide-eyed amazement!
I took this picture of an adorable Longsnout Seahorse at a favaorite dive spot in West Palm Beach, FL.
I captured this image of a West Indian Manatee while snorkeling at Kings Bay in Crystal River, FL. Manatees are very gentle and loveable animals, and snorkeling with them is a great experience!
I took this close-up shot of a brightly colored Freckled Hawkfish in Palau, Micronesia.
This image of my first and only manta encounter was taken at Miil Channel in Yap, Micronesia. I'll never forget how exhilarated I felt when this graceful giant swam right over my head!
Blue, Blue Bonaire! I took this photo of the inviting blue water in Bonaire during my vacation there last month.
This humpback whale came blowing by when I was in Juneau, Alaska last week. What a thrilling experience! I was using a Canon Rebel EOS with a 300 zoom lens.
This picture of billowy orange cup coral was taken during a night dive in Bonaire. There was a fair amount of surge by the dock where this photo was taken, as evidenced by the direction of the polyps.
This surprised fellow paused just long enough for me to frame his shell inside my extension tube and quickly snap the shot.
I photographed this sun-worshipping seal at Sea World in Orlando, FL. It was a hot June afternoon and while all the visitors were mopping their brows, this little fellow was staying cool and relaxed in his sparkling blue pool!
