I can’t decide if this is a good photo or not, but there is something about it that I like. Perhaps a different processing might change it up to make it better, but I’ll share this version for now and maybe revisit it sometime in…

Ok – I haven’t been sharing much land-based photography recently (mainly because I just haven’t been taking any for a while), but here is a quick series of photos I shot while in Timor Leste of a parasitic wasp of some sort that we found…
Anthias are among my favorite fish on the reefs. I wish they were easier to photograph (or that I would have taken more opportunities to try), but here are a couple I managed to photograph. The one is almost definitely the Squarespot Anthias, but the…
Today I’ll share a trio of butterfly fish that were included in our surveys with Blue Ventures – the Eastern Triangle Butterfly Fish, the Redfin Butterfly Fish, and the Chevron Butterfly Fish… I’ll leave you to try and figure out which is which (hint: I…
In one of my rare good wide-angle shots, I managed to capture this well timed shot as Elka, one of the volunteers during the two week cetacean expedition, approached this massive tabular coral with the school of Yellow Striped Goatfish underneath.
While we’re on the subject of grumpy fish… This particular shrimp goby really didn’t seem to want to let me take photos of his shrimp, and then those eyes to finish off the grumpy look… 🙂
One of several species of fish that always look grumpy, I managed to get this nice portrait and thought it worked well for a square crop…
I would see these cool guys a significant amount at the dive site we used for training in Timor, but I never would have my camera with me when we were there. Then luckily on our very last dive, one of the other volunteers spotted…
For almost my entire stay on Atauro Island in Timor Leste, the seas were incredibly calm. I mean so calm that you could barely see the difference between sea and sky. Here’s a short video showing just how calm it was… and this was on…
As promised… another video for you… I might have a couple more coming soon – we’ll see how motivated I am to finish them.
Just a quick highlight video of some of the nice turtle encounters I had while in Timor Leste… The full highlights video from the expedition is coming soon! (like in the next post)
Today’s video is the real treat… Ales is from the Czech Republic and is paralyzed in three limbs (only has function of one arm), but because the underwater world is a different set of physics, Juan was able to see past the difficulties and we…
Ok – a bit a treat for you here for this and the next post… while working on my Dive Master certification here at La Bila, I’ve also had the opportunity to do some fun dives with some of the guests and I’ve made a…
These photos might not look like much, but they are what is referred to as “coral recruits”. These small corals are just settling in and with some luck will grow to be members of the larger reef… but considering corals tend to only grow a…
