The Best Underwater Spots Near me

I took this photo a few days ago, during my holidays in Minorca, a tiny island where I was born. It’s been almost five years since I left my home now. I stumbled upon this empty shell while I was scuba diving and I asked my girlfriend to hold it so I could take a photo of it. My intention was to capture a bit of the essence of my island: humanity and nature together in the middle of the sea. Poetic but simple at the same time.

This is so far one of the best sight I saw in my life. The wreck is located in Vaavu atoll Maldives. I was creating some content for a hotel near by and they showed me this.. Instagram.com/seefromthesky

We travelled on those Dhoani (boats) from K. Maafushi island to have some fun in a sand bank surrounded by the beauty.

Taken from my trip to the Galapagos islands, this turtle swam right along me as we dove beside the reef.

This surfer, waiting for good surf, near the Skagsanden Beach on Lofoten islands. He’s wearing a wetsuit because this was actually taken in winter, and the water is freezing cold. Buy awesome, limited edtition, photo prints: handpictphoto.com

It doesn’t seem like it at first glance, but this picture was taken in the northern part of Norway, on Lofoten islands, which are located above the arctic circle. And it was early February when I visited, so the sea being very cold too. Buy awesome, limited edtition, photo prints: handpictphoto.com

Luck for me the tide was low and this colorful piece of corals was not that deep and maintained this beautiful color. Photograph was taken in Thailand, Koh Lipe which is full of corals like this!

Blue Pools in New Zealand on a sunny day has the clearest, coldest water I have ever seen. The brave even take a quick swim -highly refreshing!

This is my first time attending to Holi Festival and It was a Blast ! I saw this little girl was playing colors with her family. I saw this moment where she was smiling and the background was busy and super loud with those EDM music. I knee down and captured this moment. Everyone were stepping my leg and i was like yo i must get the shot. It was worth it. Thank you to this little girl :) . I love this shot so much.

This photo was taken from a DJI Mavic Pro drone at about 400 feet over Carpinteria State Beach in Carpinteria, CA during early March 2017.

I was diving in Roatan, completely enthralled with the vibrant coral reef that seemed to go on forever, plunging to unknown depths below. Seeing movement out of my peripheral vision, I was somewhat startled to see a large sea turtle brush past my shoulder. Swimming slowly with graceful wings, the sea turtle was certainly not surprised or startled by me. I was just another fish in his sea. I love this photo because it reminds me of feeling at right at home, 70 feet below the surface.

Surprise “guest� on my quick dive in the clear waters of Barbados. He makes a great model, doesn’t he?

A cow nose ray swims past at the Cairns Aquarium. These fascinating and rather weird-looking rays are a type of eagle ray, and are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean from New England to Brazil.

This was how we spent the last day of 2016, driving through the Alabama Hills. I can’t think of a better way to end a wonderful year full of trips and new places.

The Clown triggerfish has a bizarre pattern. Triggerfish are territorial, and will sometimes bite a scuba diver who has intruded into their territory.

The Clown Anemonefish is the type of fish in the film Finding Nemo. This photo shows typical behaviour where they live in and find protection in stinging sea anemones.

On our last weekend in Australia before we went on our trip, we captured these guys swimming i n the shallows in search for the salmon passing by.

but many of us humans are fools, when you harm nature to make money is like stealing from own home without knowing and when the trouble comes realising that.

Anemone fish live in sea anemones, where the stinging tentacles of the anemone provide protection for the fish from predators, while the anemone fish is itself immune to the stings.

These unusual rays have a comical look to them. This one seemed to pose for me, and seemed to want to be photographed.

Just as I was finishing my dive, disappointed with the photographs I made, I ran into these guys. School trevallies. Wave surge was hitting me hard but I manage to take few photos before I ran out of air. I was happy with the photos but I was more happy to see them.

Two young Dolphins caught on camera headed north just as the sun breaks through the horizon.

This part of the reef is home base for this little guy. Every time I swam by, he was all smiles

You might get caught up in the beautiful blue waters of the Caribbean or lost in the diversity of the Honduran corals, but don’t miss the clever trumpetfish masquerading as just another piece of the reef. When I look at this photo, I see it come to life as I recall watching this fish swaying upside down in the current, mimicking the graceful dance of the coral fingers.
