Ooops! I forgot to post my favorite from this year......

Not up to par with most of these but hey, I am a novice. I didn't take the last one but it is still one of my favorites. It was taken in the wheel house of the Kittiwake 3 weeks ago. Maybe after some time it will fade as a favorite but the memory is still vivid and I really like it!

Jun Lao, love love LOVE the one of the shrimp riding the nudi. Priceless! And the dental work one is really lit wonderfully

TS&M and cardog, also love your nudibranchs!

Edit: what a great idea for a thread!

Thanks for the "likes".

This has turned out to be such a great thread. Sharing the year's dive photos in one thread. Thanks for starting this smellz.

TsandM, That shot is from Palau and the coral and its inhabitants were indeed very surreal. One of the Brits on the boat came along and proved to be the perfect model to finish off the shot.

Jun, always a pleasure diving with you as well. Since our regular dives are in Anilao, the Wide Angle shots become more special for us.

The cold water critters look as special to us tropical guys as our stuff does to you cold water guys. Personally, I'd like to see some shots of kelp forests with just the right amount of sunlight peeking through.

Jun,

By the way, the shots of the Nautilus and Sea Plane Wreck were recovered from my SD Card that had an error when i was uploading to my computer. Feel so lucky to have recovered them with recovery software. had three diving days worth of stuff in that SD Card.

I'm sure there's much better ones out there, but this one I took at San Clemente (Channel Islands) just before I got caught up in surge and trashed my brand new fisheye lens ...
