The "E.T." shot - riding a bike over the guns of the M/V Tibbetts - harder than it looks - buoyancy was an issue!

I like the Photoshop manipulation
The first regular size Seahorse that I have seen! Traveled to different locations in the Pacific, but, ended up seeing him at Little Cayman.
Sponge scene
1/100 at f14. I spent a whole dive hanging around one spot of coral to get this shot.
Adam at the MV Captain Keith Tibbett's wreck in Cayman Brac. (if you look close, he's motioning me that there is a turtle nearby).
Spinyhead blenny - always so curious.
Moose Horn Coral
I thought this dive would be a "bust" without strobes, but, was pleasantly surprised.
1/250 at f8 with Tokina 10-17. This shot at 10mm and as I looked up I saw the diver swimming back to the boat and waited for him to go through the sun ball.
Rock Beauty (Holacanthus tricolor), a type of Caribbean angelfish.
shortlistedShortlisted!

Arrow crab with anemone and sea rods
Cluster of Sponges, Grand Cayman (Aplysina Fistularis)
Jim was still recovering from surgery and couldn't dive on our last trip to Little Cayman, so I took his camera down and had a great time. One of my favorite shots was this little Arrow Blenny, about 1 inch long.

Stingray City has produced some great u/w shots over the years
French Angelfish with diver
Peek-a-boo
Scrawled Filefish from Little Cayman Island. Jim was recovering from surgery and couldn't dive on this trip, so I took his D300 down and had a blast with it.
Another curious turtle..
Blue Tang - I took this image on a dive on Pageant Beach Reef in Grand Cayman. I used an Olympus 790 SW with the built in flash. The exposure was f/5 at 125 of second, ISO of 160.
