Thanks. Yep, that's a lionsfish. You can click on each picture and the name of the main creature is in the file name at the bottom of the hyperlink on the image hosting site.

Beautiful! Are those reef sharks dangerous to be around?

Nope. Most sharks aren't actually dangerous for scuba divers. We don't really resemble their food. IMO, the only ones I'd really worry about would be tigers and oceanic white tips, and those only if they started behaving oddly (you get to understand a curious shark vs an aggressive shark with time/practice). Most sharks actually are pretty skittish around divers and won't get very close without extenuating circumstances (such as places that do shark feeds which acclimate the sharks to divers).

Great pics and I salute salute you for getting out and travelling. I think it is a surprisingly good time to travel if you take precautions.

Nice. We were the first divers/tourists in six months when we were at Dunbar rock on Honduras in September. Feels great to contribute to the near starving tourism industry! Hope you have many more trips in the next six months, like we have planned....

I'm using a Canon G7X Mk II in a fantasea housing, with a Sea & Sea YS-01 strobe. For macro, I've been using an Inon +6 macro lens. Post processing with photoshop and/or lightroom.
I'm adding a second strobe soon and a +12 macro lens as well.

So beautiful, really happy for you. Our covid sea adventure was watching "My Octopus Teacher." Would rather experience it in person.

I never had the nerve to do SCUBA diving - barely any snorkeling! I recall the first time I came face to face with a Moray Eel, mouth agape, teeth bared hiding between a couple of rocks. I was pretty much done.
Love YOUR pictures. Mine would have browned out had I taken any.
