I have had dreams at night like this but never expected to see anything close to it in life. One of my favorites was something resembling the Matterhorn in what must be a few miles of visibility with incredible reef growth and rock forms. Improbable, still Norbert uses some exceptional vertical viz to capture an intriguing sea mount rock form with rays to boot.

I’ve captured this photo at Roca Partida, an volcanic rock who comes up from 2000 meter of depth. Roca Partida (English: Broken Rock) is the smallest of the Revillagigedo Islands in Mexico. It is uninhabited, with an area of only 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roca_Partida

This place is famous for extreme clear water and its Pacific Manta Rays (Manta hamiltony) cruising arround the extinct volcano.

Canon EOS 5D, 2.8/15mm Fisheye, SEACAM housing, f11, 1/125, ISO 200, no flash
