Taken in very strong current. I took 2 shots before my strobe arms folded back flat from the force. The Barracuda hovered around me effortlessly as I clung on like a flag, trying to take this shot!

Squid shot taken during a night dive. Photo was taken right before a jet of black ink was shot in my face and the squid took off.

unusual to see a frontal mandarin shot, but it works!

This school of jacks came straight at us at high speed! Our guide grabbed her mask in shock as the school swam straight through us at high speed. I had no time to compose hence the messy shot...
