Mushroom coral, Wakaya Island.

Wakaya isn't known for its underwater scenery, but for all the exotic animals there.  On this dive, I was in the wrong place for the blue ribbon eels, the Hellfire anemone was nowhere to be found, and I missed the rockmover wrasses, but there's always mushroom coral. At 2:1, I thought it looked like mountain ridges trailing away in the haze.

Nikon F4, 105mm f/2.8 Auto Micro Nikkor,  TC-14A teleconverter, PK-27, PK-14 tubes, Aquatica Housing, 2 Ikelite 200 strobes, f/22, Kodak Royal Gold 100.
