"Chest Bump"
Small Hawksbill heading to the surface in Grand Cayman.
"Submariner" - Yellow spnges frame an imposing barracuda. I was going for a strong graphic image, so dialed up the shutter speed for contrast and to increase the silhouette of the barracuda and ledge it was under.
"Sunlit Dive"
A diver is in motion as he giant strides off the back of a boat into sunlit water. The safety regulator and hang line can be seen in the water below.
"Colorful Reef Scene"
Babylon, East End, Grand Cayman
Canon 40D in Sea&Sea housing
Tokina 10-17mm lens
ISO 250, f/11, 1/125th
"Flower Power"
Just under the ladder for this shore dive I saw the glow of these awesome soft corals.
Fantasea Fluorescence gear made this shot possible.
"Star Marks the Spot"
While exploring the mangroves around Booby Cay on paddle board, we found an abundance of starfish near the roots making for some awesome images.
REd Caribbean Pistol Shrimp emerges from its anemone home #shrimp #snappingshrimp #pistolshrimp #crustacean
Sweet old loggerhead turtle taking a leisurely swim past us on a wall in Grand Cayman.

Grand Cayman
Canon 40D in Sea & Sea housing
Ambient light
ISO 320, f/11 1/100th
Trumpetfish "hiding" on a colorful reef
"You Can't See Me..."
"Mesmerizing"
Not a photo in the water, but rather, of the water. The crystal clear Cayman water I call home. Where I dive and explore and photograph magical things. It laps at the shore, calling me in. The water here is mesmerizing.
The Final Frontier
Wreck of the Doc Poulson, growth forward of the wheel house.
"Under the Waves"
This tower of elk horn coral rests on the edge of the mini wall just below waves overhead.
"The Green House"
At such a shallow depth this mini wall was teaming with life, and so well lit on a bright sunny day.
Commander Of The USS Kittiwake!
Green Sea Turtle eating sea grass
School children peer out the windows of a glass-bottom boat as Bermuda chub swim past. The kids were so excited to see us diving and waving to them!
Catching the sailfin blenny in action
"Like a Hawk"
No wonder we call them Hawksbill Turtles. Just before I took this image the Turtle was sprawled out over a sponge digging his sharp beak into it. Soon he used his front two fins to push himself upward while letting his beak tear off...

Brunch Time -2016
Nikon D300
We've seen more and more curious moray eels as we dive Grand Cayman - likely seeking an easy meal of a lionfish from a diver. This guy swam around us checking us out and then settled into a small swim-thru to watch us as we finished our dive.
"Hover"
A stingray glides over sand in shallow water. Stingray Sandbar, Grand Cayman

One of the beautiful wild turtles that live inside the barrier reef at Spotts Beach!

"Layers" - A sharknose goby draws the eye into the corner of this underwater abstract of a brightly-colored sponge and hard corals. I sought to make a strong graphic image, the angles and black negative space as important as the layers and colors.
Grays by can be quite interesting to photograph,especially when they let you get close with the macro lens.
Kittiwake
