I LOVE the shot of the Lizardfish eating the damselfish. You have to tell me the story on that one.

I also would like to hear about the Dugong! I always wanted to photograph a Dugong.

Nice work.

These have been taking 2005 from Red See.

Lizardfish was on the deck of the wreckThistlegorm. It doing one meter jumps from place to another like the damselfish was too heavy to carry or it wanted to show me that "look what I have catched". This was taken with my previos
WZ5060 where the delay of shutter was "years in the moment like this" and it looking to camera in right moment was pure luck. But like you know also luck is needed in UW-photographing.

There is place about 80km from Hurghada to south called Marsa Alam where this Dugongs are visiting regularly. It is shallow sandy bottom site and many divers love it. They are suprisignly big and easy to make pictures. It is like dust sucking machine, when it is very hungry it might be difficult to make good pictures because of visibility.

Wow, so there is a place in the Red Sea that is pretty reliable to photograph this Dugong? It is one friendly individual?

The lizardfish shot should be posted in the food chain thread:
