David and I had an amazing “frogfish” week where we saw six different frogfish across two different dive sites in Bonaire. We saw one of the frogfish at “The Lake” and our dive guide Jolanda from Beyond the Corals found five frogfish at Salt Pier. While at Salt Pier, I stayed with this little guy for a bit longer than the the other frogfish and it paid off. While I was observing him he decided to move to another location, and he jumped off his sponges. I was able to capture this image after the jump while he was floating down to his new location.

Equipment and settings: Nikon D850 / 60mm / INON z330 strobes / f14 / 1/200th / ISO 200.  
Location: Salt Pier, Bonaire

…Taking in Our New View in Grand Cayman

We didn’t know if we were going to make it to Grand Cayman or not. The challenge started in March when our AirBnB cancelled. We quickly found a new and better property on Seven Mile Beach. Then we weren’t sure if Grand Cayman would even be open by Nov 1. In late...

I was on fire spotting cryptic teardrop crabs on our last night dive at Salt Pier. This little guy was one of three crabs I spotted that night - pretty good considering I had never spotted one on my own before. These critters are so small, it is difficult to know...
