  Dumaguete City Forum — Authority: 146
  Thought you fish lovers might enjoy this shot of a Barracuda visiting the dentist. I included an interesting yet quite common sight to divers -- an injured Rabbitfish nursing wounds from a barracuda attack.

  Tony Wu's Underwater Photography Blog — Authority: 422
  We’re packed up and getting ready to leave Dominica. It’s been a fantastic first trip to this lovely island nation, and I’m looking forward to visiting again.

  Over/under image of a juvenile sperm whale in Dominica (Physeter macrocephalus) We have finished our 6 days on the water here in Dominica, and will be headed home later on today.

• Head or Tails?

  
  Tony Wu's Underwater Photography Blog — Authority: 422
  We had amazing encounters yesterday with a family of resident whales called the Group of Seven. Among the group were a couple of relatively large calfs, both of which were inquisitive and friendly. At times, it was almost as if they presented themselves for photos (of course, at other times, we had to swim like mad ...

  A sperm whale calf in Dominica.. Photo taken under permit. Day 5: yet another fantastic day on the water! We spent most of the day swimming with whales, and all of us have aching muscles.

• All In The Family

  
  Tony Wu's Underwater Photography Blog — Authority: 422
  Photographing open-ocean cetaceans can involve a lot of swimming. For instance, to be accepted into this group of sperm whales required what seemed like hours of swimming as hard and fast as I could. In reality, it was probably only 10 minutes, give or take, but swimming for 10 minutes in ocean swell with the ...

  Tony Wu's Underwater Photography Blog — Authority: 422
  While we’re on the subject of big mouths from my previous post , here’s a shot of one whale mouthing another during a period of intense social interaction: This playful mouthing seems to be a normal and frequent behaviour, as we’ve seen it many times in the social groups. It doesn’t seem to involve ...

• Same or different?

  
  The Right Blue — Authority: 412
  by B. N. Sullivan This image reminds me of those puzzles: Which one is not like the others? At first glance, all the fishes in the photo look alike.  Theyre similarly shaped, their bodies are white with lines, and they all have yellow fins and black trim, including a black bar over the eye.  But if you look ...

  A couple of days ago, a large bull whale showed up to socialise with some of the younger males. Adult male sperm whales are huge. In the water, it looked somewhere on the order of two to three times the size of the sub-adults, as well as being significantly greater in girth. They can grow to something on the order ...
