This beautiful sea fan is at the foot of a pinnacle at the dive site known as Da Bai Sha (Big White Sand), Green Island, Taiwan. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #scuba #island #taiwan #asia #eastcoastkin #photography

I am fascinated by tubeworms and take ridiculous quantities of photos of them. These seasonally appropriate Christmas tree worms retract into their tubes quickly at the slightest disturbance so it's good practice to hover motionless while getting the shot. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans #coralreef

This hawkbill found a delicious sponge, which is not on the menu for a carnivorous, double-lined coral bream. I guess consuming sand isn't a problem, either. 😆 #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #scuba #seaturtle #turtle #ocean #eastcoastkin #photography

The Trumpetfish is such a ridiculous looking creature, they always make me smile. They are masters of color change as well, shading from brown, reddish, orange, and bright yellow. They often drift head-down like this, especially when hanging out in clumps of soft coral. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans

Helmet crab (Telmessus cheiragonus) hanging out in the sediment, as they do. 🦑 #oceans #scuba #diving #crustaceans #crabs #invertebrates #pacificnorthwest

I took this macro photo of a glass shrimp resting on a starfish in Sogod Bay, Southern Leyte, Philippines. They're commonly found in sea anemones with clownfish. #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #scuba #eastcoastkin #photography

This magical moment happened in Baja California. The mom pushed her calf toward us! But there is more... this whale holds one of the longest migrations of any mammal. Gray whales travel roughly 16,000–22,000 km round-trip every year. #whale #ocean #sealife #scuba #photography

Stoplight Parrotfish, just a ridiculously beautiful animal. #scuba #diving #oceans 🦑

I captured this scorpionfish in Sogod Bay, Philippines. It's the most colorful I've ever seen. I took it with my Sony RX100 Mark IV, Nauticam housing, and YS-D3 strobe. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #scuba #eastcoastkin #photography

Are you talkin' to me? Are YOU talkin' to ME?!?!? Slender cancer crab (Cancer gracilis) ready to throw down. 🦑 #diving #scuba #NAUIdiver #crabs #crustaceans #oceanlife #oceans #PugetSound #pacificnorthwest #invertebrates

Can you see the scorpionfish? (hint: eyes to the left, caudal fin to the right) They are tremendously camouflaged and I generally miss them, but this one shot in front of me, dropped onto some coral, and then stayed motionless. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans

The French Angelfish (Pomacanthus paru) is beautiful but also looks as if it has an incredible superiority complex and is wondering disapprovingly what you're doing in its ocean. 🦑 #diving #scuba #oceans
