Underwater Traffic Jam

The huge school of silversides was swimming in one direction and a smaller school of yellowtail fusilier (Carsio cuning) was swimming in the opposite direction. There were so many fish that you could hardly make out the reef in the background.

Sunburst Through the Water

Looking up at the sky and the island through the clear, warm water in the Coral Triangle. When you are diving, remember to look up once in a while.

Healthy Reefs of Coral Triangle

There are healthy looking coral reefs at the Coral Triangle. A school of fish and sunburst made a nice backdrop for this colony of staghorn  coral. These coral may not be colorful, but when you closely at them, you will see fish and other colorful creatures hiding in there.

All Smiles

We usually visit local villages when we go on overseas dive trips. The kids in the village greet us with warm and sweet smiles, like this boy with coral sand on his face and arms.

Seeing Above and Below

You can see more colors when you are in the shallow, clear water like this. You can also see through the water and make out what's above the surface. For example, in this shot you see the reef lit up by the strobe and also  see some details of the island above the surface.
