We so often see coral scapes taken during the day, when the light is brightest. At night, the underwater world completely transforms, with species emerging that are hiding during the daylight hours. Your view is also narrowed to whatever is illuminated by your torch, forcing you to focus on what is in front of you.

I took these photos at Keeper Reef, off Townsville. We had started the dive before the sun had set, and it was beautiful seeing the colour slowly fade as the sun disappeared. I wanted to capture how the night changes the reef as darkness descends. I shot these images on the Olympus OMD EM1 Mark II, using an Olympus 8mm fisheye lens in a Nauticam housing with a pair of Inon Z-330 strobes.
