"Here's looking at you!" Followed this guy all over the coral reef. Must have taken 25 photos while following him. Lots of great closeups!
"You want a piece of ME?!!". Lionfish in Belize - NOT indigenous. they are working to erradicate these....Taken down around 90 feet. This one was too deep for the guides to go back and catch to remove from the reef.
The turtle murmured "Would you kindly swim aside and let me pass?", and I did.
Here's "Hairy"! - A cute Orangetan crab! Found this hairy little guy "hanging" around in a doorway of a wreck in Truk Lagoon. Taken with one YS-02 strobe and focus light with Canon 990 IS with wideangle wetlens.
"Just Hangin'" - Decorator Crab holding on!
Taken with my Canon 990IS with focus light and camera flash (my strobe flooded on first dive). This was a cute little guy!
