Peterson's shrimp, Grand Cayman
Redspotted sandperch. Forward facing spine is not depicted in any other images I have seen. Input welcome. Maui, Hawaii.
A pair of what I believe are pygmy scorpionfish. (Input is welcome.) The size of the fish, relative to the polyps which are visible on the coral, is quite small. These were seen at the Three Anchors dive site, in Maui, Hawaii. D200, Nikon 105 len
Small commensal shrimp on a sea cucumber. Fast moving little things. He ducked into a gap, hiding him from my full strobe.
Glossodoris rufomarginata nudibranch, Maui, Hawaii. Taken at the three anchors dive site.
Kaliedoscopic image created using Photoshop made from an image of sponge and feather dusters. Enjoy.

An interesting effect that doesn't much look like its subject but unusual nonetheless
Kaleidoscopic image created from a photo of a featherduster. I love the colors on this one.
shortlistedShortlisted!
Kaleidoscopic image made from a photo of a juvenile drum against brightly colored corals. Original image taken in Turks and Caicos. The small size doesn't do the details justice.
"Kaleidoscopic" image made from a shot of a flamingo tongue.
Boogie boarder carves up the waves in Kauai, Hawaii. Standing/kneeling on the board with fins on, this young local "owned" the waves.

A vibrant reef along the top of the wall. North shore, Grand Cayman, August, 2008.
A sailboat passes by Cayman Kai, on the North shore of Grand Cayman. The really small white dots on the horizon line are dive boats on the North wall. A beautiful place to dive. A beautiful place to "off-gas" when you are not diving. Enjoy.

Lessons on what to do with your dive buddy, after the dive. Depicted is an important manner of "decompressing" with your dive buddy. When your life starts to look like an American beer commercial, you know you are doing good.
Pastel paradise. One of the things I love about diving is that it tends to occur in places where it is nice to be when you are not diving. Case in point, this is the view to the east from Rum Point, Grand Cayman.
Reef shot from Bob's wall, North shore, Grand Cayman. Warm, clear waters, no current, killer visibility. Nikon 12-24 mm, D200, L&M housing.
Wife and dive buddy in a scene with sea fan in Grand Cayman.
