On a night dive in Cozumel, this Yellowline Arrow Crab was dancing along the sand moving away from the Sea Anemone you can see on the left. This otherworldly looking creature is one of the most frequently seen crabs in these waters and is usually calm enough around divers to allow photographs to be taken easily

Again, night dives are my favorite and this photograph is one of the reasons why. Almost never seen during the day, this magnificent creature is one of the Night Crawlers seen regularly after dark. As we were swimming along the reef, this octopus was swimming along as well. A very friendly creature, we didn't have any effect on the direction or speed it was moving. The only sign of anxiety was the constant curling and stretching of different arms as it moved along the reef.

At the very end of a night dive on Grand Cayman, I spotted this Octopus along the shore wall, almost at the surface. We had already photographed several others during the dive but this one seemed so calm just sitting there. After cropping and some cleanup, the result was the image at left.

Divers with cameras dart around the reef capturing images of fish, crabs, and often anything that moves. Sometimes, you can miss the splendor and beauty of the slow or non-moving reef dwellers. Corals and Sponges blanket the reef in colors that cover the entire spectrum of visible light..
