A Sailfin Blenny displays his distinctive trait.
A diver explores the engine room of the ex-USS Kittiwake. I used a slave strobe and placed it so it would burst light through the metal structure in front of the diver.

The Horse Eyed Jacks love played follow the leader around the Kittiwake.

Trash the Dress at the famous Stingray Sandbar
Dangling fireworm
Cayman's beautiful North Wall, rich with life! An anenome, lots of little blue chromis, a snapper, sponges, colorful coral... I used my wide-angle dome port extension with my fisheye lens for a forced vingette.
"Follow the Leader" large school of Horse Eyed Jacks on a safety stop
A tiny spotted cleaner shrimp climbs on a warty corallimorph anemone. I lit the shrimp with one strobe, and lit the background with my second strobe to provide backlighting.

Fluorescing Goby - "Tie-Dye"
No color editing was done to this photo. The rainbow of colors is from shooting with my Nightsea fluorescence kit. The filters "excite" the fluorescence in the goby and coral.
"Gaudy Clown Crab"
Great marco subject one afternoon on the North Wall in Cayman.
