Photo shot in Hani Faru lagoon in the Baa Atoll (Maldives). A fantastic experience with feeding Manta Rays and a few Whalesharks. Photo taken in natural light while snorkling. Quite a bit of Plankton, but thats why they were there :-)

I have struggled to get a shot of a pufferfish - they always seem to turn away at the wrong time! This one, in amougst a load of glass fish in the Maldives, was more friendy. Canon Ixus 85is - Inon D2000 strobe and wide angle lens

After an hour of watching in amazement approx 100 Mantas spinning & "flying" over my head, I got out and snorkelled with them. They didn't seem to care about divers, just eating. Canon Ixus 85is, Inon Fisheye.

Shooting a self portrait while diving and snorkeling with feeding manta rays in the Hanifaru Bay. A majestic corner of the world, but definitely in need of regulation of human interaction - as this revealing silhouette shows.
