'MUM N Jr' Cruising the wreck at the Kulau, East New Britain, PNG. Sorry about the backgroun, but rarely you get two semi-posing the right direction. Housed Nikon F; 55mm auto-micro Nikkor lens. Enjoy!
'SOFT CORAL STUDY' Close up and personal with soft coral polyps. Balicasag Island, PI. Housed Nikon F; 55mm auto-micro Nikkor Lens, Enjoy!

'RABAUL ZERO' Almost fully intact Zero in Simpson Bay, Rabaul. Natural light at 140' in 'gin clear' water. Little or no coral as no current in the flooded caldera. Had to snorkle out then drop in on it. Housed Nikon F; 24mm Nikkor lens. Enjoy!

'MR. TOAD' A VERY reclusive creature indigenous only to the waters in the vicinity of Cozumel. Rarely seen free swimming - thus this nice mug shot. Housed Nikon F; 55mm auto-micro Nikkor lens. Enjoy!
'KELP GARDEN' As most of us know, diving in frigid water is almost another sport; low viz; turbidity; currents, etc. However, it does have wonderful benefits and splendid marine life and growth. Coronados Islands; Housed Nikon F; 24mm lens. Enjoy!
'Devil's Kitchen' Once the most beautiful city in the So. Pacific in 1994 was flattened by the duel erruptions of Vulcan and Tuvurvur. This image is from what was the end of the runway - about as close to a working volcano as one would like to get.
