Small Shrimp in nice surroundings.
Olympus E330, 50mm macro and 2 Ikelite DS125
Manta in close up. No cropping and photo taken with 8 mm fisheye so this friendly Manta came pretty close. Great experience. Hope you like the photo.
Olympus E330 with 2 Ikelite DS125
Manta Rays having a meal i Habi Faru Lagoon, Maldives. So much plankton in the water that B/W was really the only option. Phoo converted in photoshop. You can see the plankton as small dark spots on their bellies.
Olymous E330 14-54mm natural light.
Swimming birds on deserted island in the Maldives.
Olympus E330 14-54mm

I think this image very well illustrates why I like to dive. A new Nudibranch (to me) and a fantastic display of colour.

I found it quite hard to focus on these small funny looking crabs. Somehow almost succeded. 50mm macro with single Ikelite DS125 Flash.
I have had a wish to make a photo of a turtle descending after a breath of air. With a lot of fin kicking it somehow succeded. Here is the result. Taken with a 14-54mm lens and 2 Ikelite DS125.
shortlistedShortlisted!
I like Nubranchs. Sometimes quite hard to find a good composition, but here I got lucky with a lot of negative space.
Photo taken with 35mm macro and twin DS 125 flash.
Got one shot at these Anemone fish in Gamat Bay, Nusa Penida, before the downcurrent went into force again. I consider myself lucky with just 1 shot at these rather lively fish. Glad for my fast 35mm macro lens.
Very pregnant (male) Pigmy Seahorse. Found on Cannibal Rock, Rinca Island, Komodo Nationalpark. 50mm macro with wet diopter (woodys) and 1 Ikelite DS125
My wife have a close look on a nice Hawksbill Turtle. Photo taken on Fishhead in the Ari Atoll, Maldives.

Photo shot in Hani Faru lagoon in the Baa Atoll (Maldives). A fantastic experience with feeding Manta Rays and a few Whalesharks. Photo taken in natural light while snorkling. Quite a bit of Plankton, but thats why they were there :-)
shortlistedShortlisted!
We found this beauty in Horseshoe Bay, Rinca Island. It was shot with a 50mm macro with 1 flash.
We found this little frogfish on 20 meters of water. A little patience a he was looking into the lens. A perfect subject for the 50mm macro lens.
Not a rare subject, but nevertheless I enjoy the beautifull butterfly fish in the blue clear waters of the Red Sea. This photo was taken on an Emperor Liveaboard in June 2009. Not a bad checkdive
Manta Rays dancing on Manta Point, Nusa Penida off Bali. Photo taken in April 2009 around fullmoon with an 8 mm fisheye.
shortlistedShortlisted!
