A baby nurse shark tucked inside a colorful overhang. This little cutie was only about a foot long! It was so inspiring to see this early stage of life on the reef.
I noticed this school of Creole Wrasse hanging around a coral head, so went over to investigate. They were all trying to get the attention of the little purple and yellow Royal Gramma. The wrasse kept jostling for position trying to get the Royal Gra

Fluorescing secretary blenny!
I used a very shallow depth of field, enabling me to focus solely on the blenny and let the coral blur out of focus. To capture the fluorescence I used Nightsea filters.
"Psychedelic Golden Tail"
I had fluorescence filters on my strobes. The eel didn't fluoresce, so I took off the bluish-purple fluoro filters. As I was composing this shot, one of the filters swung in front of a strobe, giving this psychedelic light.
Fluorescence! A goby glows brightly on brain coral. I shot this using Nightsea filters: the fluorescence is excited by the blue light emitted through my strobes and then recorded through the Nightsea filter over my macro port.

A transitioning French Angelfish races across a coral reef. I photographed this scene with a slow-shutter speed while panning. This enabled me to show the speed while freezing the fish in action.

"Air Space"
A Spotted Eagle Ray soars over head under the sun rays.

Gimme Shelter - As we drifted out to the end of a coral finger near Sand Chute in Grand Cayman, we were surprised to find this lobster taking a nap in the sponge. Fortunately I was shooting with an 8mm fisheye lens and could capture the moment.

A cryptic teardrop crab peers out from the end of a tube sponge that's a perfect fit.
This is a bowling pin that was shown to me i was with him for 20mins or so he moved an inch in that time he love the spot light
Night Octopus! I came across this octopus on a night dive. It slid up against a wall of coral and spread itself wide. It changed colors and textures repeatedly while I took this photograph.
"Tarpon Cave"
The Tarpon Cave at Macabuca is always filled with these massive fish.
"Sunny Sergeant"
Small Sergeant Majors in the shallows.

"Neon Blenny"
A glowing Roughhead Blenny shows the camera his teeth.
"Clownin"
A Gaudy Clown Crab stays out in the open for a close up.
"Spread Your Wings"
This Eagle Ray let me get so close to him. We were swimming out off the wall in the blue water, which allowed me to achieve a blackout background.
"Hairy Face"
Close up portrait of a Scorpion Fish.
"Freeze Face"
A Secretary Blenny comes out to inspect the camera.
"Sky Flying"
I love interacting with Turtles mid water. Being able to include the texture of the surface and even the clouds on a clear day.

A Hawksbill prepares for a major bite of his breakfast.
"Sand Dragon"
A Pyke Blenny showing his face.
"Black Hat"
A Juvenile High Hat on a black background.
