 New photos from my recent dive trip to the Channel Islands.

I had some camera issues in the first couple of days, but things settled down by the time I got to the Macro photography on day 3. I like the perspective on the Nudibranchs. The last couple of shots may be of an embryonic Nudibramch.

The Gold and White Nudibranch is a Horned Aeolid (Hermissenda crassicornis), which is reasonably common in the Northern Channel Islands.

The Purple and Orange is a Spanish Shawl (Flabellina iodinea), also fairly common.

 Just uploaded a slide show made from the the Socorro photo album I recently published. Enjoy.

 Just got back from Socorro and associated islands. We dove off of the Solmar V, a very nice dive boat operating out of Cabo San Lucas. I got some wonderful pictures of a friendly Giant Manta Rey who did several fly overs during the course of one dive off San Benedicto Island.

My picks for the best pictures of the trip can be found here. More pictures, including people and several sequences of Manta fly overs can be found here.

Check out pictures from diving in Monterey and Pt. Lobos.

Just got back from Wakatobi, in Indonesia near Bali. Great diving, with fantastic reefs. I got some nice shots, I think you’ll see. The primary album is Wakatobi 2008 with a separate album of the wonderful people that I traveled with or encountered. A Youtube video slideshow can be found here.

Just got back from an interesting trip to San Clemente island. Not too many pictures this time, but some nice action shots of Sea Lions at Santa Barbara Island.
