Ocean Art 2022 – Honorable Mention Place Blackwater

Honorable Mention Blackwater

Galice Hoarau

“Flatfish Larvae“

 

Galice Hoarau won a 7/8 night dive cruise aboard the Coralia Liveaboard in Raja Ampat or Komodo!

 


The Story: We found this juvenile flatfish during a blackwater dive between the islands of Siladen and Bunaken. The very deep water between the islands makes it a great place for the pelagic and deep sea creatures rising close to the surface after sunset! 

Location: Siladen, Indonesia

Equipment Used: Olympus EM1 Mark II, Olympus 30mm Macro Lens, Nauticam Housing, Dual Inon Z330 Strobes, Dual Light & Motion Lights

Camera Settings: ISO 400, F22, 1/320 sec
