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.

I don't think Riley really needs to breathe. He's the most relaxed child in the water, preferring to swim under it rather than on top of it - usually with a dolphin kick. He's also a huge ham, thus a very willing model for underwater photos. D100

On Cherie's Reef in Milne Bay, PNG, the water was so teeming with life that I didn't know where to point the camera. Sea fans, chrinoids, gorgonians and tubastrea coral stand out in lush relief against a backdrop of schooling fish.
