  • A blacktip reef shark patrolling the shallow area of a reef in French Polynesia. Here, an abundance of hard coral and marine life makes for astonishing views. Sharks are often shy and as a photographer, you need a lot of patience to get the images you're after.

  • An early morning dive on a tropical reef is always something special. Sunrays dancing on the surface cast the coral in an eerie light as a large Napoleon wrasse passes by in the distance.

  • French Polynesia's pristine reefs are home to a huge abundance of hard coral and bleaching, fortunately, is hardly an issue here. It's almost impossible to decide what's more beautiful: the islands themselves or what lies beneath the waves.

  • Bit of a different one today. Let me know what you think! :)

  • Another macro gem from Grand Cayman! This is a fairy basslet (also called royal gramma - Gramma loreto), and probably one of the prettiest fish I've seen anywhere. Thankfully, finding them is fair(l)y easy, as they are rather common on the reefs around the island.

  • This is my 1st place winning image in the Wide Angle Unrestricted category of the Digital Shootout 2019.  The groupers in the Cayman Islands are famous for being extra friendly. They regularly approach divers and pose for photographers which makes for good opportunities to get the creative juices flowing!

  • This California sea lion chose a particularly photogenic spot for his morning playtime. In some languages, sea lions are called "sea dogs" and when watching them play it's not hard to see why! They pick up rocks, shells, starfish or anything else they can find, take their new toy to the surface and drop it, chasing it on the way down and sometimes encouraging divers to join in on the fun by "passing" their toy!

  • The one day of my stay here on Grand Cayman that I decided to dedicate to shooting macro was of course the day we saw the most eagle rays and had the closest turtle encounters!<br />
<br />
Here, a Cayman cleaner goby (Elacatinus cayman) takes a very brief siesta to have his picture taken. These little fellas are endemic to the Cayman Islands and currently listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List.

  • On day 2 of the Wetpixel Whale Shark Trip we did not find many sharks so we decided to go for a snorkel around a nearby coral reef just off Isla Contoy - quite a good backup plan if you ask me! :)

  • I encountered this Brain Coral snorkeling at a reef near Isla Contoy in Mexico when we didn't find many Whale Sharks in the area.
