Mayan Riviera Marine Life Pictures

I just got back from a vacation in the Mayan Riviera with my new underwater camera. I went on 9 dives around Playa Del Carmen, here are some of my pictures. I hope everyone enjoys them. Species ID is in the url, although I have no doubt most of you won't need it













I'd love to see someone try a trumpet fish in a large predator tank!








This goatfish was after something...






























I think this is actually a green sea turtle (file name is Hawksbill).






























It's bull shark season in the Mayan Riviera


Visibility wasn't great, so couldn't use a flash.

Really great pics bud! What were you using, my photography skills need help!

 

Fantastic images, boy those are really something.

Thank you for sharing.

 

Very nice! When i went diving down around cancun last year the lionfish was a kill on site!

 

What type of Camera are you using? those pictures are really breath taking! Just gorgeous. You need to post more of them

 

Thanks so much guys!

I'm using a Nikon P7000 with a Fantasea underwater housing, one Sea and Sea YS-01 strobe, and one Olympus UFL-1 strobe. I've acquired everything slowly over several years, which is why my housing and strobes are all different. For some of the pictures I used a fish eye lens that clips on to the under water housing.

I saw a ton of lion fish. It was really surprising since I didn't see a single one the last time I dove there in 2008.

 

Awesome picture Jake, thank you for posting. Looks like the reefs are doing pretty good there?

 

Those are some incredible pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

Wow, thanks for sharing! Great pics.

 

You can always tell a great camera, those are just fantastic. Soooo much better than my underwater point and shoot pics from that area last year LOL. Thanks for sharing!
