"Perch"
A Triple Fin Blenny resting on a Gorgonian Branch.

A congregation of Black Coral Shrimp.

"Turtle Face"
Sometimes the friendliness of the Hawksbill here in Cayman really blows my mind. I love having these encounters were the subject seems interested in you. Maybe they really do enjoy getting their photo taken.

"Red Eye"
A close up shot of a Red Cling Fish. Achieved with a 100mm and +10 Diopter.

"Hiding in the Flowers"
This Red Cling Fish found a very pretty patch of Gorgonian to cling to.

"Lettuce Slug"
Finding one of these Sea Slugs on a nice colorful backdrop is rather rare. I was happy to take advantage of the colorful opportunity.

"Black Lines"
This Blackline Cyphoma is a rare find here in Cayman. We frequently see Flamingo Tongues, but its always a treat to see one of the uncommon cousins.

Litle cleaner, Turneffe Island Belize

a super close up of a patch of Sergeant Major's eggs - shot while the father was off-guard!

This Scorpion Fish was in the perfect spot for a straight on Portrait. These subjects are very cooperative and generally sit still, but finding them is the trick.

"The Ladder"
A Whip Coral lit from the back.

"The Den"
My favorite shot of the invasive Lion Fish. We are seeing less and less of this hungry fish on the dive sites, but sometime I just can't help but snag a couple shots of them, they are very photogenic.

"Cyclone"
A school of Horse-eyed Jacks making moves around the Kittiwake.
