Green Turtle. It is very common to get close to sea turtles at the Salt Pier in Bonaire. At the end of almost each dive I can photograph a turtle, but lately are not seen very often and the sea bottom looks like a desert...something is changing?
Water ceiling. Facing a breaking Caribbean wave at sunset. For this shot I used a nikon d800 in an Aquatech Elite pro sport housing with a pistol grip, dedicated for surf photography.
Overunder image. A great Barracuda entered the frame while I was taking this overunder shot in Bonaire.

Overunder shot. A green Iguana takes a breath after an underwater incursion in a semi-submerged cave on the island of Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean. Green Iguanas are everywhere on the island, they are part of every house's garden and...pools...

Wonderful over/under shot of an unusual creature. Great job with the lighting and colors above and below the surface
Overunder shot. A brown Caribbean Pelican is resting on its baits after a few strikes. Just once a year happens that a big ball of scads get close to the shores of Bonaire attracting many predators.
