Slipper Lobster at Night
Carneval at the Reef Wakatobi 2005
At Tulamben wreck I saw this huge mantis shrimp. I had heard they can easily brake a lens with a hit of their legs so I approached very cautiously but since it didn't seem bothered at all I got within less than 5cm to get this shot.
The sun was shining beautifully on this part of Tulamben wreck. I couldn't resist taking the shot, though I normally prefer macro photography.

Taken at Manado, Indonesia
It's alwasy hard to make a good picture of Pygmee seahorses since they keep hiding as soon as you approach with a lens. This time my wife was on the other side of the gorgonian to stop it from moving away and I finally got a good shot.
I was very lucky when I saw this harlequin shrimp climbing down the edge of a sponge to get to the arm of a starfish that was lying at the bottom of it. No, I didn't put it there, but someone else may have done so before me and I just got lucky smile

"Preaching to the Choir". Sea Squirts. Bethlehem/Manado. 2005. Canon A-95. Built-in flash. No external strobe.
I prefer muck dive ....... Poopoh dive site, Manado, North Sulawesi.
Miller's Nembrotha nudibranch snacking on one of its favorite sponges. No wonder they have such beautiful blue rhinophores! D100 in a Titan Housing, Komodo.
Taken at Manado, Indonesia
The dive sites in Rinca near Komodo are rich with these gorgeous, freaky critters. Happily for photographers, the background is often equally colorful. This Crested Nembrotha nudibranch would fit right in as a Dr. Seuss character.
Manado Tua - Bunaken Park, North Sulawesi. Coolpix 5000, Sea & Sea housing and strobes.
photo was taken under a ledge using the camera's internal flash. Location Pulau Weh Indonesia.
