 I found this sea snake in the House Reef. It was gliding through the coral so this is the best shot I could get.

The Banded Sea Snake is one of the most venomous snakes in the world.

Nice shot. I'm not a big fan on any snakes so I give you lots of credit for getting this photo.

Ye gods; you have more nerve than I do to get so close to a deadly snake! Even if he seemed oblivious to you. Love the way his curves lead my eye through the shot.

Actually; I was about 2½ feet away from the end of him at the time. I don't think he even knew I was there.

VERY very impressive. Hope you had a really long lens and were very far away! You really managed to get great colors u/w. I have a really hard time with that. Good job.

Oh wow I thought these were going to be aquarium shots! That black and white is quite striking.

Oh my god!!!
I'm torn between admiration and fear!
The underwater world is just so attractive, but there seem to be too many obstacles to get access to it... Thanks for sharing these wonderful shots!

That's a gorgeous, albeit deadly, critter!
