Clownfish are everywhere in Raja Ampat but their bright colors and expressive faces along with their colorful anemone home make it impossible to not photograph them every time you pass over one.
This is what happens when silverlines are chased by predators. A beautiful choreography for life and survival.

The dive site of Melissa's Garden near the Penemu area of the Fam Islands was perhaps the most impressive of all 35 dives we did in 12 days of diving around Raja Ampat. There are 3 small mushroom islands in the center and surrounding these islands as far as the eye can see were gardens of pristine hard coral in every color of green, yellow, blue, orange, and rust covering nearly 100% of the seafloor. In the rare areas where hard corals did not grow, red and orange soft corals or sea anemones squeezed themselves in. Hundreds of thousands of brightly colored fish filled the water column from the ones darting in and out of the hard coral branches on the sea floor to larger trevally and jacks and snapper schooling from seafloor to sea surface. Hard corals are not as colorful or ornate as soft corals which makes them more difficult to photograph so I had the idea to try to shoot a panorama to convey the vastness of the coral gardens. I loved the way it turned out and thought it did a much better job than a single frame showing the landscape to those unfamiliar with diving in it. I decided that I would shoot many more panoramas over the course of the trip after this one.

While exploring the Wayil lagoon area off Misool, I came across this picture perfect beach tucked in between rocky points on a small island. Four lush palm trees lined the white sand beach lapped by turquoise waters filled with tropical fish and a seafloor completely blanketed by gardens of hard coral. I have always had an obsession with finding the perfect beach. The one with white sand, palm trees, green tropical foliage, crystal clear water, coral reefs, all under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. Out of the many beaches I have seen in my lifetime, this one fit that mental picture better than any others I had ever seen. This is a true tropical paradise.
The Wayil area off Misool in southern Raja Ampat is littered with small islands with hidden white sand beaches. The reefs come to nearly surface level and start just yards from the shoreline and extend a hundred yards or so until they drop off into the deeper channels between islands. I saw this scene from the boat and knew that I had to immerse myself in this beauty so I took a kayak out and enjoyed the solitude of the perfect embodiment of paradise. If there is a more beautiful tropical paradise I haven't seen it.

The islands and karst spires in lagoons around the Wayil area of Misool house small beaches lined by pristine coral reefs. Truly the tropical paradise you thought you could only dream of.
Ornate Ghost Pipefish. Females carry the eggs in their pelvic fins that are modified to form a brood pouch. She is hanging upside down, but if you look carefully you can see her eggs. Although relatively common, ornate ghost pipefish are very well-camouflaged and difficult to find. Taken while diving from the Dewi Nusantara in Wakatobi Indonesia.
The coral reefs of Raja Ampat are some of the most diverse and beautiful in the world. S DIGITAL CAMERA

Schooling jacks swim in a tornado shape over the reefs high into the water column in the Dampier Strait
I love the dives around the small mushroom islands. The walls of the island typically flatten a bit underwater into these plateaus that are covered by colorful corals. The top of this plateau was in about 8 feet of water.

Boo Windows is a dive site with beautiful soft coral and sea fans surrounding a small rock island. This rock island has a hole carved out by the waves where the sun shines down and opens a heavenly window to the sky.

Whenever you see an anemone closed up exposing their colorful mantles you know you have a shot worth spending some time on. Their colors, patterns, and textures make incredible subjects. There's a reason a movie was made based on one of these little guys.

I had never attempted an underwater panorama prior to this trip and I have found that I really like them. Its very difficult to convey the vastness and beauty of the underwater landscape in a single frame and I think the panorama format better conveys the feeling of being surrounded by coral gardens.
