Two black and white striped fish - sharknose gobies - look like they're dancing into the abyss of the pink sponge
Sharknose gobies (I believe) dancing into the darkness at the bottom of a glistening pink sponge. #MarineLife #scuba #photography
Thank you!
A green sea turtle sits on the ocean floor among the coral with two green colored remoras on its back.
Close up of a remora sitting on a turtles back. It's green with a lighter green stripe lining its face and going to the back of its body.
Mutual aid under the sea. Green turtles and their remoras. The second remora was so big, I didn't notice the turtle tucked into the sea floor at first. #MarineLife #Scuba #photography #turtles
A squid swimming in the open sea. The squid's eye is looking toward the camera, its body is a glimmering iridescent purple, spots on its back and bubbles to its right.
A iridescent Caribbean squid swimming through the open blue waters. The photo is looking upwards toward the full body of the squid.
It's always a good day when you spot a squid! Roatan, Honduras. #MarineLife #scuba #photography
Thank you for the repost!
A surgeonfish peeking out from under the coral surrounded by green algae. The fish is gray with blue outlines and orange eyes. It's looking at the camera with one eye and it's little fins spread wide.
I think this is my first acceptable surgeonfish photo! I like the coy look that it captured just as the fish was starting to turn away. #MarineLife #scuba #photography
They weren’t the most cooperative models, but I love the colors that look different in every photo!
A filefish that looks a bit reddish purple from the flash with blue spots and lines, a little brownish fin and puckered lips that look like they're smoking something. The green reef with coral and sponges is in the background.
A filefish swims to the left with puckered lips and what looks like an underbite. It's a grayish color with blue dots and lines and an orange eye. The blue sea is behind and the green reef below.
Up close with some goofy looking filefish. #MarineLife #scuba #photography
Ha! Believe me - for every good shot I have about 50 blurry fish butts!
A determined looking grackle walks confidently ahead on the grass. The bird is mostly black but with a shimmer of blue and purples.
A grackle stands in the grass next to some dead leaves and some little purple flowers. A black bird with blue and purple shimmers and yellow eye.
A grackle walks on the grass through some little purple flowers. It's hind feathers are up and look blue shimmering in the light.
This determined grackle wasn't about to let some little flowers divert it from its path! #birds #photography
Thank you!
Two baby drum fish intertwined. Little black and white fish with swooping fins swim above the algae and look up at the camera.
A baby drum fish - side view - black and white stripes. It's fins take on the shape of a giant C. Greenish coral and sea algae in the background.
Two together! Capturing one baby drum fish is hard enough, so I was very excited to get this photo with 2, and both babies are looking at the camera! #MarineLife #scuba #photography
It's exquisite!
Yes! 3 of them - and 2 little deer - would greet us each morning before we headed out to the boat. It was a nice treat.
A delicate cleaner shrimp on the coral and next to corkscrew anemone. The shrimp has a purple and pink body with long white antennae. The anemone has greenish swirly tentacles.

The butts of a mom and baby agouti walking on the rocky ground with dead leaves and bits of watermelon around them.
A mom and baby agouti standing on the rocky ground and looking for food. Both are brown colored and look like a combo of a guinea pig and gerbil. The mom is sitting and looking at the camera while the baby is poking its nose in the ground foraging.
Agouti butts! Nature scenes along the coast in the West End section of Roatan. #nature #photography
No, so far I've only done salt water diving.
Thank you - I appreciate your input!
Yes! I never really appreciated them until I started diving.
Three fairy basslets in the reef. The fish have purple-ish blue heads that fate into yellow tails. The background is black and there is lit up reef to the right.
Some dramatic fairy basslets in Roatan. I always struggle to capture these beautiful little fish, so I was happy to see the detail of the lower one's face. #MarineLife #scuba #photography
A delicate banded coral shrimp with long white antennae and orange and white spiky legs and tiny white claws. It's tucked inside a crevasse in a brownish-orange giant barrel sponge.

I crab with long thin legs climbing on coral in the reef.
Google says this is a neck crab, but no one on the dive could confirm this. Spotted in Roatan. #MarineLife #scuba #photography
I think it's yelling "get off my lawn!"
Colorful stoplight parrotfish - blue body with pink and yellow in its fins and pink around its scales. Little yellow wrasse fish (I think) are cleaning it as it rests at a cleaning station. Blueish and purple corals and sponges are around it on the ocean floor.
Spa Day! Stoplight parrotfish at a cleaning station in Roatan. #MarineLife #scuba #photography
Hahaha! Luckily, they are teeny tiny, so they're not scary looking until you get the photos home on the computer! I was just super excited to actually spot them during the dive.
Thank you! Yes, they are wild looking little creatures once you zoom into their faces!
A tiny green blenny fish poking out of a yellow and orange colored star coral. The blenny has its mouth open and its face is green.
A tiny blenny poking its head out from the star coral. The benny has a green face, black eyes rimmed with yellow, a white mouth, and one little horn is visible on the left side. The coral is dark orange and yellow.
It's been a while, since my above ground camera was in the shop and I haven't been underwater since December. Just back from Roatan with a few sea creatures to share. These are macro shots of blennies. They're about 4 mm wide and look like tiny tubes to the naked eye #MarineLife #scuba #photography
Four penguins standing along the edge of the water looking at one that's still in the water.
Three penguins walking close together along the edge of the water toward another penguin that's out of the photo. The penguins have white bellies, black backs, a black stripe on the front, a white c-shaped marking on the side of their heads and pink around their eyes.
The penguin cliques were quite expressive, and some seemed a bit judgy even. Maiquillahue Island, Chile. #birds #penguins #photography
Two penguins stand near each other facing in the same direction. They are standing near the water between some large brown boulders.
Two penguins looking at one another as they stand between some large brown boulders. The penguins have white bellies, a black stripe over their chest, a white stripe along their faces and pink around their eyes.
Two penguins stand between boulders with their faces close together, beaks almost touching.
I wonder what they're discussing. Two penguins enjoying a moment to themselves. Maiquillahue Island, Chile #birds #penguins #photography
