Photobomb! A brightly coloured fairy basslet (Gramma loreto) hovers over top of an unsuspecting Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus). #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #lobster #fairybasslet #royalgramma
Coral restoration in action! A diver outplants a nursery-grown fragment of staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) on the reef. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #acropora #acroporas #acroporacoral
Can you see it? There is a tiny (~3mm) Caribbean sea spider (Anoplodactylus app.) hiding in the dead centre of the frame. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #seaspider #seaspiders
Mean, green eating machine! This free swimming green moray eel (Gymnothorax funebris) was not happy that I interrupted its hunt. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #moray #morayeel
Lettuce sea slugs (Elysia crispata) are kleptoplasts! They suck up photosynthetic material from algae, which continues to feed the slug while allowing it to take on the colour of the algae for greater camouflage. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #seaslug #seaslugs #nudibranch #nudibranchs
A diver cleans the algae from coral trees in the nursery at Turquoise Bay Resort. Fragments of staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornus) will be ready for outplanting in only nine months. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #acropora #staghorncoral
Common sea fans (Gorgonia ventalina), Yellow Sea whips (Pterogorgia citrona) and black sea rods (Plexaura homomalla) adorn a coral head at the edge of the wall. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms
Bluestripe lizardfish (Synodus saurus)use their natural camouflage to lie in wait for a passing meal. They are distinguished from sand divers (Synodus intermedius) by the lack of a yellow lateral stripe. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #lizardfish

Nurse sharks (Ginglymostoma cirratum) are very chill and extremely shy. I like to think of them as the puppy dogs of the sea! #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #nurseshark #nursesharks #shark #sharks
Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) are a cornerstone species in the Carribean. Unfortunately, only a small fraction remain in the wake of white band disease and repeated bleaching events. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #coralreef #biodiversity #ecology #fishnerdfilms #acropora

Lettuce sea slugs (Elysia crispata) are commonly found on the reef where they take on the colour of the algae that they eat. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms #ecology #marineconservation #fish #nudibranch #nudibranchs #seaslug #seaslugs
The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef in Roatan has some of the highest coral cover in the Carribean with a huge diversity of both hard and soft corals. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms #ecology #marineconservation #fish #coral #corals
This Pedersen’s cleaner shrimp (Ancylomenes pedersoni) was more focused on cleaning his eyestalks than any potential customers. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms #ecology #marineconservation #fish #shrimp #cleanershrimp
During the summer, huge schools of silversides move into caves and caverns to spawn. These ones were in the second crack at Mary’s Place. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms #ecology #marineconservation #fish #silversides #marysplace

Nassau groupers (Epinephelus striatus) are endangered due to commercial overfishing. However, they are making a comeback in those areas of the Caribbean that are protected by marine parks. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms #ecology #marineconservation #fish
This little sap sucking slug (Elysia papillosa) was not very impressed that I turned over the almond leaf that he was hiding under. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms #ecology #seaslugs #marineconservation
Bridled burrfish (Chilomycterus antennatus) can inflate like a spiked balloon when threatened. However, their first line of defense is usually to take off at full speed! #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #discoverocean #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #natgeomyshot #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms
This tiny (2 mm) red spot banana worm (Acoela sp.) put on quite a show as it foraged for sustenance right in front of my lens. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #discoverocean #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #natgeomyshot #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms

This is a great example of how the colouration of the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) allows it to seamlessly blend into the reef to avoid predation. #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #discoverocean #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #natgeomyshot #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms
I like it when green moray eels (Gymnothorax funebris) are relaxing in a quiet crevasse. It’s when they are free swimming and on the hunt that I tend to stay clear! #roatan #honduras #caribbean #scuba #scubadiving #scubadiver #oceans #discoverocean #underwaterphotography #underwaterphoto #uwphotography #uwphoto #nature #naturephotography #naturephoto #natgeomyshot #protectourplanet #protectouroceans #oceanconservation #roatanmarinepark #coralreef #biodiversity #fishnerdfilms
At one inch in diameter, the shell occupied by this juvenile white-speckled hermit crab (Paguristes puncticeps) is becoming a bit cramped.
