After the die off of Starfish we have seen on the west coast of Canada it was encouraging to see them going strong in the Alberni Inlet. Tokina 10-17mm and twin sea and sea 110a strobes.
Zebra Sea Slug! This neon green slug was on an off colour for its normal background so it had a nice contrast.
With the mass die off of Sea Stars off of the coast of north America it was great to see this sea flea perched on this healthy baby Sea Star! Canon 100mm macro with twin sea and sea 110 alpha strobes and +10 diopter!
Jelly Teddy! The Hooded Nudibranch always remind me of little soft teddy bears with fangs!
Into the fire! Opalescent Nudibranch on Eel grass.
Fire on Black! This nudibranch was balanced on a piece of eel grass and against the darkening water provided an amazing contrast!
Burst of Jacks!
All the Suckers! I had my Macro lens on so this was all that I could get of this Giant Pacific Octopus. I love Octo's and the powers shape and colour of this one's suckers was truly amazing.
Plumose at nite.
A Sea Flea and a Baby Shrimp. This pair were posed on a Tunicate and stayed together for a meer moment before parting ways.
Home in a Sponge! This Grunt Sculpin was hiding out in a Boot Sponge.
Vermillion Rockfish!
All a Glow! This tiny anenome was less than 1cm sq and when lit had ethereal glow!
A face only a mother could love! Canon 100mm macro and avery slow approach netted me this sole close up!
One of the Old Men from the Muppets lol! A gnarley old Wolf Eel we can Papa! He didn't come out for a visit but did check us out!
Staghorn Sculpin displaying!
Two for lunch! We found this huge green turtle eating and managed to sit down and watch for awhile!
Gentle Giant! They hadn't had a Manta Ray in the double lagoon for 15years and we had the privledge to swim with this one (our first on ever) for 5 minutes before it flew off into the blue. Canon T2I in Aquatica with Tokina 10-17mm and twin strobes.
All decorated up an no where to go! Decorated Warbonnet Canon 100mm macro w twin sea an sea 110a strobes.
Highlighter of the Sea! These Tunicates sure stood out on night dives. As soon as your light hit them you would be mesmorized by their neon glow!
This Harlequin Shrimp posed regally for a couple minutes before scampering off to its hiding place.
Moon Jellyfish over the Canyon! Natural light!
A Juevenille Wolf Eel just coming out of its den saw that it had been spotted and displayed all its finery!
This little Ruby Octopus stayed out on recent dive with us for almost 20 minutes. It was like a little tank the way that its legs moved like tracks.
Hold the next generation! A beautiful Mantis shrimp clutches her precious cargo!
Adorable! This Blue Ring Octopus was just hanging out on the reef till we happened by. It was amazing how many shapes,textures and colours that they can change. This picture was one of my favorites made it look cute but no less deadly!
Cloud Sponge and Diver! On a wreck dive we found this cloud sponge on top of one of the antenna masts and with the green backlighting it made for wonderful contrast.
