POTW-2021-11-1 | Week 4

David and I were looking for a dive center that was open for diving. This can be hard to do in Grand Cayman while COVID is raging and a quarantine is required for visitors. We found that Lighthouse Point was operating regular hours – probably the only dive center on the island that is. The manager was extremely helpful and told us where we could find a couple of seahorses. Her directions were spot on and David was able to locate one of the two seahorses very quickly.

The seahorse was a little shy, but still let me take a number of photos. There were so many great images and this photo was one of the last photos taken before I gave the beauty a break.

Equipment and settings: Nikon D850 / INON z330 strobes / 60mm lens / f20 / 250/th / ISO 200  Location: Lighthouse Point, Grand Cayman

While in the shallows at Salt Pier in Bonaire, David noticed a group of crabs that were fighting over an empty shell. Given the number of crabs and the level of interest, we assume the shell was not empty, but contained some sort of food. The 2 larger crabs dominated...

While making our way to Turtle City on the East Coast of Bonaire, I spotted this turtle with a couple of hitch hiking remoras and made a bee line to capture an image. While the conditions were pretty mild, the visibility suffered requiring me to get as close as...
