Seeing as I have only done cave trips this year, here are the three that stand out to me.

bvanant, did you have those nudis on a mirror? Those are amazing photos!

I would also like to know, those are fantastic shots! A lot of great shots on this thread too.

This one is from the 2013 Scubaboard Invasion to Bonaire from the salt pier:




I like this trumpet fish cruising on the reef as if playing peek-a-boo:





And finally Baby the green moray eel from my backyard:

Seeing as I have only done cave trips this year, here are the three that stands out to me.

What is very cool about some good cave shots, is that it looks like the diver is floating in mid air, as the water isn't readily apparent. Great photos Warren.

I am posting mine as the other end of the spectrum from the really pro stuff in this tread.

New diver and new to UW photography. In fact this is from my very first ocean dive trip and first time with UW photo. Taken with a SeaLife 1400 no lights auto setting. So the photos are mediocre at best BUT the experience got me hooked. I just got a Sola 2000F and ultralight arm system for my Olympus EMP1 for my next trip coming up in April

You need to use the BBCode from your picture in flickr rather than the link.

It's funny, because I won the November Shootout in the LAUPS with an octopus photo that I didn't really like very much. I thought it was slightly out of focus and somewhat boring. I guess the voters there really like octopus.

whenever I see this photo, a caption pops into my mind:

"Get off my lawn you young whippersnappers!"
