As my strobe failed and stop working,I began to shoot silouettes of my budy, this is one of the bests I got, because the excellent visibility in Cozumel even at 80 feet you could shot with natural light.

Diving along the wall of Palancar always affords a view like this. This image was taken a couple of weeks ago off Cozumel.

So I thought the fish down here in Mexico were strange. On the surface I ran into this rather odd looking specimen,,it barely moved!!! Very strange indeed!
