Thanks for posting this.

I taught with Dr. Alexander Mustard (listed in the article - one of the competition organizers and an amazing photographer) in the Cayman's. He did the photo part, I did the coral reef bio lecture, which is funny because he is Ph.D. Biologist and I was just a scuba instructor.

Imagine being that good of a photographer to produce the photos in the article. Now imagine, taking the photos, while flying weightless - and breathing through bulky life support equipment - and usually at night (makes for better control of your lighting) - in pitch black water. Fun, huh? (Actually it really is - especially when you're upside down in a current.)

Love those photos!!!!
