I was shooting for the first time that week with a digi-compact, a Canon Ixus 700 series, available light using custom white balance, and an Inon Fisheye lens. We were just waiting on our safety stop and were quite literally buzzed by these guys!

I know they are a little cliched,but they can be quite a challenge, testing the camera focussing abilities to the max. I cant resist shooting them though and this is my personal favourite so far....

I couldn't believe how small these little guys are when I first encountered them.But what Ribbon Eels lack in stature they more than make up for with attitude! They are almost as tricky to shoot as Clown Fish, with their incessant darting about.

Sometimes the most mundane looking creatures can reward you.This is the interior of a sea urchin, and to me it looked very alien,if you saw it in a Sci-Fi movie you would be impressed that someone had even imagined it!

I love the fractal patterns in nature, these feather star arms at the macro scale, echo the patterns we see all around us, from the very tiny seen here all the way up to the spiral shape of the galaxy we all live in, sorry got a bit hippy there!

This young Indonesian girl was busy catching small fish, and cleaning them down by the waters edge, without a care in the world, who needs a GameBoy?

Shark Reef in the summer time and you have lot's of schools here. These Batfish were just turning away as Shelly was filming them, and of a few that I took this was one that, ticked all my boxes, with Shelly in one corner with the Batfish opposite.

The tiny shrimp catching a ride on the skirts of this Nudibranch, seemed to be clinging on for dear life, as these two hurtled around the reef! Well as much as a nudibranch can be described to hurtle, that is! Shot on a Canon S90 Inon Macro and Torch

First time I saw a pair of these I couldn't believe that nature could throw up such crazy colours.

Canon 7D, 100mm Macro, Ikelite Housing. This Lizard Fish was happy for me to get close enough with the 100mm lens, to catch his portrait. I took a few different compositions, but this was my favourite.

I wanted to highlight this little creatures breathing apparatus, so positioned myself to show its delicate gills against an ink black background.

Shelly was looking for me as I had surfaced to one side of her, trying to get her attention was difficult as she had her head under the water, so only one thing to do, take a shot.

Had an SLR with a macro lens in housing, Canon 7D 100mm Macro Ikelite.
As I popped up at 50bar(ish) was rewarded with this scene on the shore straight out of the pages of Nat Geo, couldn't believe my luck.
