Thanks for sharing, my favorites are the hawksbill, green moray and closeup of the parrot fish teeth.

Nice variety of species in your shots as well.

Very nice. I'm particularly impressed by the rainbow parrotfish shot, close up and frontal, as those guys have been skittish with me. Plus, the big ones look like they could take a big chunk of meat out of me, so I haven't pushed it.

Love how in that last photo the diver gives a sense of grand scale to the reef structure. Is that one of the Palancar sites?

Thx. I grabbed the shot of the parrotfish as he quickly swam past me. Ha ha. I like his mustache. The shot of the diver on the deep reef was at Santa Rosa Wall a couple of days after hurricane Grace.

Congrats on finding that seahorse out in the open.

My DM has really good vision. I would have totally missed it. It was in a very open area but on a deep section of Palancar Gardens which I thought was really surprising.

Is the second one down in the second set a batfish? If so, wow on seeing one of those.

Yes, that’s what my DM called it. I had never seen one either.
