Sea star shrimp on Egyptian sea star

Timing...
Rough seas and ladder exits mean timing is important.
I also like the sunbeams breaking through the water inviting divers to the surface.
Canon ixus and fisheye lens.

Clown fish are much easier to photograph at night when they are a lot less active. This one was taken on a night dive on the wreck of the Umbria in Sudan. Canon ixus 100 and d2000 strobe. Slight crop.

Would you follow this dive guide???

Night diving with sharks is always fun. We had 2 great night dives in sudan with silky sharks. The 2 green lights in the background are from another divers video lights.

I had a ball diving with the baracuda. This site also gets grey reef sharks and that was what most other divers were interested in. I just loved the baracuda !!

Parrotfish poo. It's always funny...

We were nearing the end of a pretty uneventful dive when I spotted this beautiful turtle . They really are such wonderful creatures.
