What you looking at?

Snorkelling at one of my favourite sites on the Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia we came across a Green Sea Turtle with a lot of attitude. They come to this are to be cleaned by a little fish called Cleaner Wrasse, I guess she didn’t want us to watch her.

Freedivers in a Cenote

Day out scouting new dive sites we arrived and had the pleasure of seeing a group of freedivers performing.. the light wasnt perfect and actually we had a few drops of rain.. we decided to enter.. the sun eventually came out and gave us this!

The island "Mikurajima" is 200 km south of Tokyo, Japan. Around 140 islands of southern bottlenose dolphins inhabit the sea around the island. They are curious, and when people enter the sea, they go around together just to play. I shot a beautiful moment that I was kind to.

Bigfin reef squid

Night dives always produce a world of wonders that is completely different to what one would ordinarily see during the day. This bigfin reef squid was beautiful displaying its beauty for our group for a good long time. One of my favorite things to do is to be able to really get to spend time with my subjects and this one was happy to oblige.

Летающая тарелка

Кокосовый осьминог(род небольших тропических осьминогов) получил это название за то, что использует в качестве укрытия различные полые ёмкости, найденные на дне. Часто это половинки кокосовых орехов или пустые раковины моллюсков. Забавно наблюдать, как такие осьминожки передвигаются по дну, прихватив "подмышки" пару раковин, а при малейшей опасности ловко залезают внутрь, стягивая половинки своими присосками.

Freediver under sargassum.

The climate change in our planet is affecting many ecosystems including our seas, which I have personally seen the effect of the unbalanced growth of the sargassum (macro algae) that by excess nutrients in the waters of the seas and the increase in temperature in the oceans Nowadays the Caribbean Sea suffers one of the greatest natural cataphores with the arrival of massive quantities of sargassum to its beaches.

Keeping my home clean

I came upon this Porcelain crab living on the underside of an Anemone. Although most critters would get stung by the anemone these critters have an agreement as long as the crab keeps up his end of the deal. I used a 60mm dry lens lens to get close enough to capture them but yet not disturb them.

Сокровище

Когда наверху жизни нет и все замерзло, в подводном царстве продолжается жизнь. Оно бережно хранит свои сокровища. . Когда попадаешь на север,то все предстает в суровом свете.Все вокруг белым-бело, постоянно дует холодный пронизывающий ветер,с небес постоянно что-то сыпется, солнце тут вообще очень редкий гость.Но, потрясающие рассветы и закаты удивляли,тундра представала в совершенно иных красках - от золотых до иссиня-сиреневых,океан баловал великолепными волнами,а небеса поражали волшебными северными сияниями. И на всем этом фоне - разруха, остатки некогда бурлящего жизнью поселка. . Териберка, Россия.

My first dive and my first underwater photography! Never tried swimming, but was very curious take some underwater life! Gone through lots of YouTube videos and then took a shot to dive. For first 15-20 mins, I was totally amazed by the beauty of the life underwater. And in parallel struggling to hold my camera, my breath and focus. It was not so easy as I saw in the videos & thought about it. Got stabilized a little and managed to click few shots and this is one of them in the last 5-10 mins. Clicked with 5DMKiii + 50mm placed inside an Underwater housing!
