Just a few of the beautiful sponges which are scattered up and down the wall of reefs which stretch along the coast of Cozumel.This photo was taken in July 0f 2004.A few of them were spared by Wilma, as I witnessed on my last trip in Dec 2005.
This photo was taken @ Punta Sur in Cozumel after swimming thru the Devils Throat which is the highlight of the dive. Lots of soft coral and fans along the side of this wall.This photo was taken at about 110', using my Sealife DC200and strobes.
Jellyfish Lake Palau
This photo was taken off Grand Bahamas Island in 2003. I used my DC200 and a single strobe to photograph this subject. I pushed many a shark off while taking this photo. There were probably 8 sharks swimming with us. No Cage!!

"The Queen of the Reef" This photo was taken in Cozumel in 2004. The photo was taken with my DC200 and 2 strobes.One of my favorite photos. They are very difficult to photograph!
Hundreds of Silversides filled this crevice at Lighthouse Reef in Belize. The Siversides were looking to escape the wide mouth of a Tarpon.This photo was taken with my Sealife DC200 and one strobe.the dive was almost as great as the Blue Hole.
WHAT IF......? Nikon F; Niko Mar III housing; 55mm auto-micro lens; Walindi, WNB, PNG + imagination.
"The Christ of the Deep Statue" Located in the Florida Keys/Pennekamp Park. This was taken with a MX10/35mm camera, no strobe or flash. The statue has been there so long that it is covered with various fans and fire coral. Photo was taken in 2002.
A Beautiful Day for Diving! The photo was taken using a wide angle lense and natural light.Morning dive in Cozumel 12/05.
This turtle decided he was friendly and posed for this shot. I took this photo off of Playa Del Carmen in 2004. I used my Sealife Camera with a single strobe.
This Southern Stingray looks as if he would be saying " They dont see me". The Stingray was buried between the finger reefs off Ambergris Key. The photo was taken with a Sealife DC200 w/ Strobes. I was able to get several photos of this subject.
"just Checking" a very curious Reeef Shark. Many of them came so close I was glad to use my camera for a shieid. Adrenaline was high!!!!! Photo taken off Grand Bahamas Island.
This photo was taken in Cozumel in Dec of 2005, there were 2 French Angels in this hole along with 2 Queen Angels. All photo friendly.
