Yellow Boxfish (Ostracion cubicus)

Ark Dive

Okinawa Prefecture

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

Slightly more rare in my experience these are quite small fish. I pursued this fish for 5 minutes then gave him a break. Lovely colors. I think of this as the Zispepo fish now!

Juvenile Dusky Parrotfish (Scarus Niger) on Flower Pot Coral (goniopora lobata)

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

I had a lot of fun with this soft coral fish. I was toward the back end of my only dive for that day, and noted a very small movemetn in the fronds of this flower pot coral. Through patience and persistence I was able to use my 105mm with my 2.0 teleconverter to get some nice close shots. This fish was in Brownian motion (ceaseless random motion) across the soft coral. I don't think you could use a super macro converter or a magnifier to get these shots since the subject is very dynamic...

Coral Rock Grouper (Epinephelus corallicola)

 

Date: July 8, 2018

Onna Point

(Horseshoe Point)

Okinawa Prefecture

Japan

Depth 90 feet or 27 meters of depth under water

 

This is a Grouper that I see less frequently. It's quite large compared to a black tip, but about the same size as a Minatus Grouper. It was fairly patient with me and let me dial in this nice exposure.

The film, which was released as “War-Gods of the Deep” in the US., is loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “City Under the Sea.” It was an attempt to capitalize on the series of Poe films that had been made by Roger Corman starring Vincent Price. The plot concerns the discovery of a lost city beneath the sea off the coast of Cornwall. Price is the captain overseeing a group of sailors who have lived there for more than a century where the peculiar mix of gases has allowed them to extend their lifespan. [Source: Wikipedia]

It was the 1960s and the mantra was "Don't trust anyone over thirty." Tab Hunter's soaring movie career as the 1950s’ All-American-boy-next-door took a nose-dive and, having been released from Warner Bros., he took whatever job that was steered his way to survive (including summer stock and dinner theater).

I went back with a bit more patience. Spent most of a solo dive photographing this beauty. Cropped my image some, but original was pretty tight since I used a 210 equivalent combination. More shots to come!

A prolific and reliably seen nudibranch, I am always greeted by them on my dives. They range in size from quite small to large. They have a tendenc to hold on with the caudal section (rear end) of their body and try to climb/find purchase with their rostral end (front part). This one was spotted on the way to the exit after 95 minutes at depth with 500psi, which any diver knows is when you see the best creatures!

Pygmy Seadragon (Kyonemichthys rumengani)

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

On this day, Shawn Miller and I went out looking for pygmy seahorse. On the way out i noticed this thready creature moving on a reef segment. It is clearly a tiny sea dragon. This photo coincided with the plankton spawn, so a recently hatched pipefish makes sense. Lovely young specimen in any case.

Shortnose Boxfish (Ostracion nasus)

 

Date: May 11, 2018

Night Dive

Kadena Steps

Okinawa Prefecture

Japan

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

A sleeping adult Dusky Parrotfish (Scarus niger) sleeping. Sleeping parrotfish protect themselves from predators by creating a mucous bubble to sleep in. It keeps their delicious fishy odor out of the water so no predators come to eat them. They don't have eyelids, so they can't close their eyes. This fish was sleeping, and I was able to get a nice close shot without waking him up.

Joruna ramicola nudibranch

 

Size of Specimen: 4cm

 

Date: April 29, 2018

 

Sunabe Seawall

 

Chatan-cho

 

Okinawa Prefecture

 

Japan

 

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

Saw this micronudibranch under a rocky overhang on the seawall. It was not longer than 2cm. Loved the benefit of the teleconverter with this specimen.

 

The second photo I am posting of this specimen. It was quite small and at an odd angle. With the 200mm equivalent lens, I had a hard time framing it and avoiding damaging the reef. This is cropped andthe colors were manipulated in Lightroom.

A challenging fish to photograph. It led me on a merry chase around the coral...it and it's mate. Then I was able to snap a few good shots. This one was best.

The 2nd or 3rd time i have seen this fish. First time i have gotten a photo is an extended (unnatural for this fish) position. I was happy with the detail on this shot. The white spot is unique, i think.

Common Dragonet (Callionymus lyra)

Sunabe Seawall

Okinawa Prefecture

 

Japan

 

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

Shawn Miller (#yeahiknowshawnmiller) and I were finishing a dive and taking photos of a Roboastra luteolineolata nudibranch. This dragonet moved in and really stole the show. These are great fish to observe: not shy, has moments where it isn't constnalty moving. At least somewhat curious.

Strapped a GoPro Hero 4 to my Nauticam rig. Shot images of this Crinoid and Crinoid Crab. My focus distance was set a bit tight, but I thought the images were still worthwhile.

Spotted Moray Eel

Nago Seawall

Okinawa , Japan

April 8, 2018

60 feet of water

 

I'm fairly certain on this species. I think it looks more "speckled" than "spotted," but that's not a species. A rarer find for me. In Nago, I usually see more "greyface" or "white eyed" moray eels. Those are synonyms for Gymnothorax thyrsoideus. www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?ID=8252&A...

 

Taken with a Nikon D850 using a 105mm lens and a 1.7 teleconverter. Not cropped. This was a lovely eel who was very photogenic. It has a bit of sediment on it's head which may have already been there, or may have been from my own movements. A really satisfying shot in which I have both bokeh and depth of focus. Truly excellent technology combined with a bit of luck.
