What can I say..I love sun shine the outdoors and mostly scuba diving. Diving is a passion of mine and the underwater photography just adds to it.

Is that fish really that big or is it just the perspective?

A great shot, the light is very well captured and the fish is beautifull and huge. I don’t like yellow -or any color- wetsuit, but this is personal opinion

Good protection he has. It is hard to even see the eyes on him.

Terrific use of perspective, from here it looks like those pirana like teeth can bite off the entire head of the diver!! makes me shudder. How big is the fish really Paul?
