Patience is required to photograph these protective little fish. They never travel far from their little hole and tunnel in the sand.

One of my favorites - French Angelfish are so friendly and photogenic. I followed this Angel for a minute or so and she rewarded me with a frontal shot.

A lobster hiding out in a cave off the coast of Guantanamo Bay Cuba. The seas were extremely rough that day and when we surfaced and tried to swim to shore my dive buddy actually got caught in a rip current. He finally made it...minus some equipment

Barrel sponge beauty in gardens of the sea.

A Cayman Island swim through. Just a hint of flash to pick out some detail inside the cave, but avoid over-exposing the sand.

Foots, the creator of Atlantis, after a long day dealing with the overwhelming damage caused to Cayman Brac by Hurricane Paloma.

The three ton sundial at the Atlantis Sculpture Garden and Artificial Reef. 50 fsw.

I have never seen this shrimp before this trip to Cozumel, and saw it almost every Caribbean carpet anemone there. Obviously the health of the reef is excellent, Any help in ID on this shrimp would be great!

Shortlisted!

Within a branching vase sponge, lit from outside with a UK Light Cannon, a peppermint shrimp comes forward... Have to get very close with the camera and the torch, but the slightest touch sends the shrimp running.
Shortlisted!

I enjoy watching these juv. Angelfish flutter back and forth with the current and the color is striking and hard to miss! This image was taken during a dive off Cozumel and Villa Blanco Wall.
