Fantastic photos. One appears to be a marine beetle. I didn't know such a thing existed.

Hi to all,
here Raja Ampat 2018 you can see some pics made with a Panasonic Gh5 in Nauticam housing, in Raja Ampat during a liveaboard on M/sy Seahorse

Scipio,

Is that a large beetle that has fallen into sea water and been captured by something ?? or an actual underwater marine insect ? ? Great photos !!!!
