I absolutely love this picture

I just had a look at your Flickr page -- those Wolf Eels are much cuter when they're little, aren't they?

Oh yes, so cute when they are young, and quite the opposite when they grow up! Would hate to be their dentist!

Wow, Mr. Tan, that shrimp on the coral is fabulous!

I'm having so much fun coming back and checking this thread again and again . . . thanks, everybody, for taking the time to put your pictures here so we can all enjoy them!

I agree with you on both counts, Lynne. That crab shot is awesome. And this is a blast! Come on the rest of you, post those shots.

Ooh, this is fun. I've really been enjoying looking at everyone's photos--and like Lynne said, it's interesting to see what the people whose photos I follow choose as their favorites


The forward "guns" of our HMCS Yukon here in San Diego:

Probably my #1 favorite of the year: the ubiquitous Spanish Shawl.

I liked this one sufficiently to blow it up and put it on the wall (what could be better than a 40" nudibranch?!):

My first mantis shrimp in Anilao last month:

These aren't from this year but I didn't have much of a dive year so I went back in my older files.

Couple more.

Two 20" spanish dancers, dancing? (I bloody wish I found that to get a shot of)

I saw two Spanish Dancers dancing in Africa but I didn't have a good enough camera/lights to take on my night dives. I really wish I could have gotten pictures. They are so cool! The leader of our trip had an amazing video camera and the whole reason he wanted to go to Pemba Island was the elusive Spanish Dancer, free swimming at night. He was able to get some great footage of a pair a couple of times.

I ended up posting about 10 images on FB and asked people to vote. Here are the three winners from my list of Best of 2013:



As others have written, Thanks Bob for starting this.
