Well, these are all part of my favourite shots and they all are for completely different reasons
and not neccesarilly because theire impressive in photography terms..


Because its a freaking cobia and it was coming straight for me.. Atleast untill I couldnt, umm, avoid blowing bubbles.


Because I was getting low to avoid a ripping current and it was litterarilly straight infront of me..
and not enjoying my company very much.


Because its quite descriptive of how all my attempts to photograph those sketchy little buggers tend to end up..


Because its smiling and cute..


Because there was a HUGE shoal just surrounding me and they where so close I had serious issues focusing even that good..


SLUGZILLA!


Well, whats NOT to like about that..


Hes got the video of me taking the picture of him and the turtle.
Taken at about 12 meters deep with no strobes and yes, his hair really was blue!


It just sums up how the reefs looked in a "tourist-abandoned" Sharm El Sheikh/Ras Mohammad/Straits of Tiran in june..



I also do have a photo of one of my all time greatest sightings, but I didnt take the picture myself..
A sailfish with the sail fully raised :D
