Check out these beautiful Oriental Sweetlips. They are always so chill around divers. Good entertainment on a 3 min. safety stop. #maldives #underwatherphotography

This is an everyday scene at the fish market in Malé #Maldives. Fishermen have been throwing their scraps in the ocean here for years. Nothing like a free meal to draw a crowd. #underwatherphotography

This is from one of my dives in #Maldives called “Shark tank” near the airport in Malé. This is what happens when you chum the water hoping to attract tiger sharks. No tigers on this dive but no lack of action. 🦑

Moray eel I found just at the very end of my dive during our safety stop in maybe 5m of water. This was in the #Maldives at #Reethi Island. #underwatherphotography

A Picasso triggerfish comes over to say hello. I was swimming out to the reef with not much to look at, & it swam right up to me, checked me out and continued on its way. 🦑

This stingray was a bit too friendly. I had to guide it away. Lots of action on this dive! #Maldives #underwatherphotography

Coral Banded Shrimp - I just read that they are always found in a pair and they are monogamous. Huh, learn something new every day!

A Black Banded Sea Krait. Venomous, but they pose little risk to divers. They can be curious, but mostly pay no attention to you. Fun fact, they spend more of their life on land than in the water. #underwatherphotography 🦑

I think one of the reasons I love Moray Eels so much is they are such cooperative subjects. While looking mean, they are quite friendly and inquisitive. #Maldives 🦑

Visibility was not ideal, but was good enough to watch these beautiful Spotted Eagle Rays swim past. This dive as near #Rasdhoo #Maldives, called Kurumathi House reef.

School of Bluestripe Snapper just relaxing, minding their own business, then a couple of tuna figure it's snack time. We spent about 10 min just hanging here. Absolutely beautiful.

This is an American Paddlefish. Found in the Mississippi River. Craziest fish I’ve seen lately! It’s a filter feeder which uses sensors in its long snout to locate zooplankton. Vid take @ #DubaiAquariumandUnderwaterZoo
