My favorite place to watch the sunrise is underwater. Swimming out while it’s still dark and searching for wildlife to photograph is such a unique experience. You’re hoping to find something worth shooting before the sun comes up. It really feels like a race against it.

Those first minutes of sunrise bring some of the most unique lighting, soft orange tones that don’t last long. The ocean’s waking up, I’m waking up, the turtles are waking up. It’s a special time to be in the water, and these past few days have been some of the best sunrise dives I’ve had.

Here’s a few from them.

Happy St. Patty’s Day ☘️
Green is normally one of the first tones I try to clean up in underwater images, but sometimes nature flips the script and makes it the best part of the shot.
