2 months ago by larswitberg Sharks all around you. Bumping into you, brushing over your head and nudging between you and the diver next to you. Thrilling experience! #shark #sharkdiving #stewartcove #bahamas #diving #scuba #underwater #ocean #savethesharks #underwaterphotography #travelphotography
4 months ago by larswitberg The best sign that summer is over is the remains of the seasonal jellyfish floating in mid water. This season it has been less stinging red jellyfish than usual in our Norwegian waters - for some reason. Yet the longest and warmest summer in history. For the average swimmer a win-win situation - for the more environmental concerned underwater enthusiasts, the effects of the climate change is deeply trubling. ...but, a naturally dead jellyfish can still be a beautiful symbol of autumn. #jellyfish #ocean #oslofjord #underwaterworld #underwaterphotography #environment #marinelife #climatechange #travelphotography
2 months ago by larswitberg Jacks in solitude. Usually larger schools but sometimes small groups just hanging around under the boat. Always a small photography challenge with those shiny fishes. Too much reflections from the scales burn out from the flash making the balance in the picture. Beautiful fish. You can tell it is built for speed. One of my favourite family of fishes. #underwaterphotography #travelphotography #ocean #jackfish #caribbean #scuba #diving
2 months ago by larswitberg The bottom dwellers, big and small, hide in dark holes and under rocks. Camouflaged by darkness they watch life passing bye their safe hideout. If you search for them you often find those curious faces looking at you with large glass dome eyes and grumpy looking mouth. I try not to scare them further into the darkness. Slowly move my large bulky camera housing and big flashes as close as possible, then fire the strobes, leaving the poor creature in lightning shock that lasts for god knows how long. #travelphotography #underwater_world_ #ocean #fjords #fjordsofnorway #diving #scuba #nauticam #canon

2 months ago by larswitberg The wonderful relationship between the clown fish and the anemone is often one of the first you discover and learn about when diving tropical reefs. I still stop and watch this for a few minutes every time I get the chance. #underwater_world_ #ocean #nauticam #scuba #coral #reef #philippines #travelphotography #canon

2 months ago by larswitberg This is tiny. You can see the grains of sand on the bottom, BUT do you see the juvenile flounder? If you look closely you see one eye, mouth and parts of the fin. I was lucky and saw it move, otherwise I would never have taken this photo. It moves fast across the bottom, then with a special wiggling movement, manage to cover itself with sand. I wonder how many animals I just pass without seeing. It is probably a lot. I really look for them but most animals are What do you think? #underwaterphotography #travelphotography #adventure #scuba #photography
2 months ago by larswitberg I sometimes wonder what kind of impression I make on animals I meet around the world. So many close encounters in the wild in their environment. Over and under water. I wonder in moments like this - the extra long stare contests. What goes through their mind? It feels like the initial danger-analytics turns into curiosity. I am defenitely not dangerous and I think sometimes they understand this and take some extra moments. Sometimes they even move closer. Smell, look and listen. This waterbuck in Mozambique was quite comfortable after a while and curious on this blond nordic photographer....I love
2 months ago by larswitberg Hey all my active diving friends around the world. Looking at this close portrait of a fish from Cozumel I took. Shallow reef. Struggle to find out the name of this fish. Any suggestions? #whatfishisthis #reef #cozumel #underwater ny suggestions? #whatfishisthis #reef #cozumel #underwater
2 months ago by larswitberg They are seldom afraid. The barracudas. More curious. The biggest ones get up to 5 feet. They look a little scary but never had any bad experiences. This one wanted to hang out with us when we did deco. Nice! #barracuda #keywest #vandenberg #captainscorner #scuba #wreckdiving #underwaterphotography #adventure #travelphotography #ocean #florida
