MONICA SCHANDEL GALLERY #1

Octo in a Bottle: My favorite underwater creatures are octopus. This tiny octo in a bottle was a favorite.

Friendly Turtle - This friendly turtle in St. Maarten loves divers.

Reef Scene - Just a hint of sunshine from above on this tranquil reef scene.

Through the Cut - Looking through the cut in the reef, the diver is framed by the corals above and below.

Batty - Batfish are very beautiful and detailed, I was captured by this one’s eye.

Flamingo Tongue - The curve of flamingo tongue upside down gives way to a sense of peacefulness.

Pink Anemone - Anemones flow very gracefully with the currents and their details close up are incredible.

Here's looking at you kid - Up close the intricate details of hermit crabs are amazing; and really ladies who wouldn’t want those eyelashes?

Proud Papa - These jawfish eggs are almost ready to release as you can see they eyes on the little one. This is one proud papa.

Hey, Over Here - This yellowhead jawfish seems to be looking for love .

Looking up - Let’s not forget to look up from time to time while diving.

Shark - This reef shark swam with our dive group the entire dive, passing under the bubbles often as if they might be giving him a massage.

Manatees - Crystal River is a haven for manatees and winter is a great time to go.

Hilma - The Hilma Hooker is an iconic wreck in Bonaire. Here the wreck is given scale by the diver taking a photo.

The photographer and his subject - Shot in Isla Mujeres, this image captures both the size of the animal in relation to the diver and the focus of the photographer on his subject

Octo Blanket - This octo was all spread out and looks like an octo blanket to me.

Peek-a-boo - There was a time all I wanted was to see a sailfin blenny, so it is amazing to see them often on shore dives in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

Pipefish - Although uncommon most place, pipefish are fairly prevalent at the Blue Heron Bridge and this guy was curved nicely around some shells.

Seaweed Blenny - One of my favorite types of blennies for their hysterical personalities.

Shelly - The gracefulness of the living shells is a beautiful thing.

Shrimpy - This spotted cleaner shrimp was waiting for customers.

Time to Eat - The patterns found underwater, like this feeding coral, are amazing.

Tree in paradise
