"Illumination" - There are lots of beautiful swim throughs in Cayman, but I wanted to photograph more than just blue light coming through the back. When I came upon this conch shell in one of the swim throughs, I saw the photo I'd been waiting for.

"Choose Your Path"

"Solo Turtle"
A good sized Hawksbill claims his spot along a massive ridge. West Wall, Grand Cayman
"Mosaic"
With visibility less than ideal for the wreck dive, I decided to use my 100mm macro rather than a wide angle lens. It paid off when I spotted this Bearded Fireworm on a sea fan.
Reef Octopus on a day-time hunt.....
Crab with Purple eyes.....
"Suspended"
A Snorkeler prepares to duck under a small wave.
"Glide"
A Hawksbill descends after catching a couple breaths on the surface.
