Good afternoon gang, I have a very hidden, pink Longlure Frogfish that I found on the back of the tugboat at Caracasbaai, can you spot her?? The reason I say her is because most of the larger frogfish are females and the males are much smaller.…

Adult Queen Angelfish, Holocanthus ciliaris
Good morning from the Caribbean, I have one of the hands-down most colorful fish in Curacao for you all today called a Queen Angelfish or Holocanthus ciliaris for you fish people out there. This beauty here was easily over a foot and a half in length and barely slowed down for me to take a photo.…
Tiger Grouper
Hi all, I have a Tiger Grouper for you all today that I found on one of my many dives in beautiful Bonaire. These poor fish have been more or less wiped out from Curaçao either by fisherman or spearfishing, I think I have only seen 5 in the 12 years I have been diving here.…
Camouflaged Filefish, Monacanthus ciliatus
Hi all, I have a super camouflaged, very hidden, Fringed Filefish for you all today that we found hiding on the side of a giant pillar that was holding up a monster sized pier.
These little two inch fish are masters of camouflage and have the ability to change colors in a split second mimicking almost any underwater background color, it’s one of those things I just can’t explain you have to see it to believe it.…
Caribbean Reef Octopus Living in Discarded Trash
Good morning friends, I have a very small Caribbean Reef Octopus peering out of the end of a metal pipe for you today that I found during the day out in the middle of the sand. As many of you already know octopus have this amazing ability to squeeze themselves into the smallest of spaces, that’s why I tell all my divers to check every piece of trash they find.…

Blue-Light Goatfish
Good morning friends, we had another super fun blue-light diving adventure under the pier at Caracasbaai last night and didn’t end up getting back till around 10:30, that’s late for me!
We got in the water around 8:15 and managed to hang out under the pier for close to an hour and although the water was cold there was a ton of cool stuff to look at.…
School of Blackbar Soldierfish Under Sunken Ship
Good morning readers, I have a massive school of Blackbar Soldierfish for you all today that we found residing under the famous sunken tugboat at Caracasbaai. The area of the ship you’re looking at is right where the propeller would have been attached and is now home to thousands of fish, sponges, corals and every kind of little sea creature you can imagine.…
Free Swimming Caribbean Reef Octopus
Good morning, I have a beautiful free swimming Caribbean Reef Octopus for you all today that we found out on a night dive in front of the Sea Aquarium in around 40 feet of water. This guy, like so many we find, was super curious and seemed like he or she was just showing off for us, it was a total blast to watch.…
Bottlenose Dolphin
Good morning all. I was just asked to photograph three swimsuit models for a bikini company – they wanted underwater shots with dolphins, how could I say no??
I ended up being in the dolphin pools and underwater for quite awhile, trying my best to get the photos they wanted; not as easy as you would think.…
