Bubble collision !!
The turtle actually liked bubbles and ate them. Maybe then it didn't have to go up for air.

This is not a night dive !
I wanted to make the beautiful patterns and colours stand out, so I chose to make the background black.

Nudibranch in Tenerife.
I like the colours of this one and the flash also shows the colours on the otherwise barren rock. Unfortunately I hadn't the macro lens on, so the image is not pinsharp. Hope that you like it anyway.

Peek-a-boo.
Seahorse hiding on the divesite, El Puertito, Tenerife. There was a yellow one rather close. I'll put that on another day. A little challenging to shoot with the 14-54 mm, but I think it went ok.

Like crystal (tiger moray).
The impressive set of teeth reminds me of crystal.
The lightning is on purpose by lightning close-up very much from one side. Creating a coming out of shadow effect.

Palm Mar cave.
Inside the entrance of Palm Mar cave. A beautiful divesite with lots of stuff to entertain you,including the fierce looking tiger moray. The cross is a grim reminder of the unfortunate dives having lost their lives exploring the Cave.

I think that this Tiger Moray has a very amusing expression. Maybe it comes from closing his mouth with that set of teeth.

Tenerife under and above the surface.
A try with a over/under shot on snorkel. Photo is taken at Punta Teno, the very North Western point of the Island. The coastline is the beautiful cliffs of Los Gigantes. It is really worth a visit.

Close to the dome !
Another friendly green turtle on the El Puertito divesite on Tenerife. It came very close, so the strobe didn't lighten up the eyes. But I kind of like it anyway.
