Blue Shark (70 km South of the Cape)
Seahorse

while diving the wrecks outside Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, came across this whale skeleton. It is framed nicely by the coral encruste port-hole
Blue shark...
I took this picture around christmas time, and even the reef around Lanzarote seems to festive with decorations too, lol. Hope you like it as much as I did taking it
I like this one simply because everytime I look at it I get reminded of the beauty of the oceans and remember why I like diving. It was taken in only 5m depth and with my casio z85 with the internal flash on soft
Pelican
Honeycomb moray
Skeleton of a sea urchin at 3m, taken on a Casio Z85 with internal flash on soft
Just showing the image with the diver putting a hand on the turtle belly could give an politically wrong image. We literally had to (gently) push the turtles away from time to time. The turtles didn't seem to mind. El Puertito, Tenerife.
this photo has not been altered, only cropped. It´s a bluefin damsel fish, but if you look at it upside down it looks like a bearded man wearing sunglasses, hope u can see it
Close up of a nice Octopus in a crevice that was pleasent enought to just pose while I zoom in
Fireworm. I think this format kind of fitted the subject. Olympus E330, 35mm macro, single Ikelite DS125 strobe.
Touching the dome. Very curious green turtle in El Puertito, Tenerife. Olympus E330, 8mm fisheye, single Ikelite DS125 strobe.

a non-diver might think this is a giant turtle judging by the diver but we know the scale is misleading due to wide angle lens perspective distortion
