Just thought I'd share some of his most recent underwater photographs with my Canreef family.

Enjoy

great shots! i've always dreamed of diving this place!

love the shots of the jellies!

however, it kinda irks me when i see people touch the animals re: that guy man-handling the napoleon wrasse :sad:

Definitely a bucket list place for me. Great images, thanks for the share!

Enjoyed that
Thanks

NIIIIIIICE!!! Thanks for the share Anthony!

YAY! We are going to Palau in March 2015!!! Can't wait!!! Thanks for the photos!

Looked at the photos on a larger screen, wow is your cousin ever talented!

I love the photo of the Napoleon Wrasse with his face in the diver's hand and the close ups of the jellyfish, our world is a wonderful place!

Do you know why the divers are tethered to the reef? I know the currents out there are strong, but must be ripping to have to tether to a line...Unless it's for another reason.

I think they are tethered because of the current and so they can concentrate on their underwater photography, rather than trying to stay in place. It would be very easy for them to become separated in a strong current if everyone is untethered and focused on getting that "perfect" shot, rather than where all the other divers are situated.

This is just a guess.

It's so cool that he took those photos though...

We just got caught in some ripping current in Grand Cayman in March. We got carried about a mile off shore, had to get a fishing boat to radio the dive boat where we were. It was pretty scary.

Thanks again for sharing the photos! I will follow more of your cousin's incredible photos!

Sweet stuff!
