Scorpion Fish - Thailand The scorpion fish, one of the most venomous in the world, uses camouflage, and the ability to remain completely motionless, to snap up small unsuspecting fish. For a diver, they look like the rest of the coral, and many have reached out and placed their hands right onto them - another good reason never to touch anything on the reef. Semi-hidden spines in the dorsal fin are coated with a venomous mucous, and they slide right in to human flesh, creating what has been documented as days and weeks of searing pain.

The Glittering Sea, Similan Islands - Thailand Hundreds, if not thousands, of small glass fish parade past a colorful tuft of soft coral in about 60 feet of water - along the rim of Richelieu Rock, Thailand.

Back to the Machine World - Thailand A diver approaches the surface of the Andaman Ocean with a great deal of caution. The surface at Richelieu Rock can be a hive of small and large boats, all recovering or depositing their divers into the deep.

Life in the Sand - Thailand The beach at Koh Lak. Morning strolls, taking pictures, planning the day - all without tourists or the bustle of the town.

Limestone and Tree, Railay - Thailand Stalactites drip with moisture from an overhanging limestone cave on the beaches of Thailand's Railay peninsula. The rock climbing here can be fantastic, or downright miserable...its all up to the stone.

Tiger Cove - Thailand Long streaks of orange and black stripe the walls of this tiny canyon on the coast of Pranang Beach, Thailand.

Feather Star, Similan Islands - Thailand Diving across the surface of huge, house-sized boulders, gives you the sensation of flight. Here, a slowly waving, and walking, feather star watches divers 'fly' by.

Big Eyed Yellow Snapper - Thailand A darting school of yellow stripe Snapper in the bath-warm waters of the Similan Islands.

Peeking Out, Similan Islands - Thailand Brilliant orange clownfish pop in and out of the gently waving tentacles of their home anemone. They swim through the stinging arms, immune to the toxins, like cats rubbing against your leg - always vigilant, and never straying more than a few inches from its protection.

Floating Island - Thailand Huge limestone karst towers, eroded from the outside by the action of water and biological erosion, stand like giant teeth in the bays of southern Thailand. Each one is capped with a micro-jungle, nourishing itself from subterranean pools and aquifers that hold the rainwater.

A Traveled Path - Thailand A path can take you anywhere you want to go, and sometimes - if you are very, very lucky - it can take you to places you never intended.
