"Ascension"
A green sea turtle ascends into sunbeams in late evening light.

"Fin to Fin Traffic"
Horse Eyed Jacks playing follow the leader around the reef.

"Documentation"
It's nice to interact with other photographers underwater. Creating nice "behind the scenes" type photos. Behind every image their is a photographer.

"Vibrant"
A beautifully colored scene down the wall and the anemone right out in the open allowing me to get super close for composition.

"Hermit Crab In Slow Motion"
Ambient light and a slow shutter speed blurs the background, while strobe light freezes a hermit crab sitting on the edge of a purple vase sponge.

"Sunny Ray"
The clarity and lighting out at the Sandbar is always killer.

"Sand Traveler"
Spotted Eagle Rays spend a lot of time cruising near the sandy bottom in search of food.

"Grass Lands"
It's no wonder that the Green Turtles are always hanging out at Spotts Beach.

Sharpnose Puffer

"Water Flower"
Elk Horn Coral is very vulnerable to storm surge and swell, but lucky for us they always find a way to keep reaching for the sun.

"Synchronized Swimmers"
A pair of juvenile Spanish Hogfish swim across the reef together. Swimming in perfect tandem, the fish appear to be mirror images of each other.

Mermaid statue at Sunset House, Grand Cayman
I used a remote strobe with a Triggerfish strobe trigger to backlight the statue, and waited for the fish to be in a good position to click the shutter.

Stingray Magic

A brightly-colored flagfin glass blenny rests on coral. Shot with one strobe on an angle to provide texture.
(No snoot.)

Shark Speed

"Prairie Land"
Seagrass takes on the look of a prairie landscape in this slow shutter image. I utilized surge in the shallows, allowing it to push me through the seagrass while I framed rippling blue water as the landscape's sky and clouds.
