Left side, second down. Lemon sharks in the Bahamas. Thalassophobic's nightmare.

Went looking for a Hammerhead, found a Hammerhead. Was not disappointed.

Then discovered it is a scalloped Hammerhead, which I had never heard of. Amazing! Great post!

These are great! I especially love the Carribean reef shark, the bobtail squid, and wow, the green on this Bigfin reef squid.

This sailfish and baitball is an amazing composition.

And the designs on the underside of this spotted eagle ray are amazing.

I found an interview with him with some of how he gets the shots, for the curious.

I just watched Jaws last night. This is perfect timing! What a great perspective.

Nice to find a gallery web page whose UI doesn't suck.
