Through the eyes of an amphibious photo freak

This tiny pygmy seahorse (about 2cm) can be found in the Philippine waters....

This dude here is one of the friendliest fishes i have encountered... Although its not photogenic, its ways of getting my attention earned him this shot...

As I watched this giant beast glide past by me, I can’t help but be at awe but saddened at the same time… At awe because I am swimming with one of the giants of the sea… Amazed that despite its immense size, it is also very gentle as it circled me twice, eyeing me curiously, before it disappeared in the blueness of the sea.
Saddened you asked why? Primarily because the encounter was fleeting, probably less than 5 minutes… On a deeper reason, saddened because over the years, encounters with these gentle giants have waned… The cause being, that these gentle beasts are still being extensively hunted worldwide (despite legislations to protect them and their kind) because until now there are a lot of ignorant and stupid dimwits who still think that the meat of the manta rays (like all other exotic animals) has medicinal properties and an even moronic…

This fish is a beauty in itself...It also has one of the deadliest toxin in its dorsal fins...

This grouper yawneds as it seems it got bored...probably from a boring movie or maybe it slept late... beats me whatever the reason is.. hehehe

Bustling life on a typical day in a clean coral reef...

The clownfish's cousin (my cousin), a pink anemonefish proudly shows his home to me while i was passing by.

Just thought this might make a good photo...

Its name is Porky... My free wild pet in my resident reef... And a constant companion in my diving in Agutayan Reef...
