Excellent series! I love the trunkfish and the flounder. Brilliant shots. If you don't mind me offering a tiny bit of C&C, I'd recommend photographing the sunset to frame the sun off to one side of the shot and not have the horizon run slap bang through the centre. Rule of thirds.

Going to Bonair on the 3rd of July. Can't wait.

I love the tube sponge on the Hilmar Hooker. Reminds me of how clear the water there can be.
Like you I love diving dawn and dusk. Watching the reef change minute by minute as some fisk wake, while others look for a place to sleep.
You have to be careful that your light does not provide a spotter beam for some of the predator fish, I almost jumped out of my skin the first time one came over my shoulder and ate the fish I was looking at.
Dived out in one week, not possible, my computer won't allow me to do that much a day. Now 2 weeks and I might need to take a day off.
Thanks for posting the pictures, reminds me of some great trips

Thanks, guys!

Deefstes - Thanks for the tip, I never really think of that rule of thirds when I compose.
