A panorama of 180 ° composed of 10 photos. At 97 m depth, in the middle of the twilight zone, the edge of the 3 rd is scattered with small caves or cavities. Above, a field of coral antipathair type caps the edge of the drop. For the record, 5 minutes after taking this picture, a schoal of at least 100 hammerhead sharks have swam in the blue, in limit of visibility. The magic of the Twilight zone.
Panorama of the plain of the sands

Under the twilight zone.
A panorama composed of 11 photos to cover an angle of almost 180 degrees. Photo realized at 80 meters depth, under the twilight zone.
It is always difficult to produce a panorama in open water. You have to have an idea of the final rendering. for that the composition of the photo is essential. In the end, it is the composition of the assembly of all the photos that will emerge. So it is very difficult to realize the final rendering when shooting. But with a little experience, we get there !!!!

Mangroove
It is the feet in the water that I photographed this mangrove when the sun was close to the horizon.
Mangroves are exceptional biotopes. They contain an invaluable biodiversity. Serving as a nursery for fish, crabs and other crustaceans. It is a place very frequented by the birds who find there food and refuge. Fighting the natural erosion of soils, the mangrove also serves as a filter barrier that protects the lagoon. Mayotte, there are more than 700 hectares of Mangrove. At all costs, these wetlands, which are already under severe threat around the world, must be conserved.

Underwater cave of Twilight zone
A 300-million-pixel panorama made in this cave at a depth of 78 meters. This cave was created tens of thousands of years ago, when the level of the oceans was down after a glaciation. The onslaught of waves on the cliff, which was once the coral reef, to dig over time all a series of cave or overhang like this. We can notice that the vault is bursting with color. Despite the tiny amount of light that reaches this place, the biodiversity that develops there is extraordinary.
Panorama coloré
A rather colorful panorama on the plain of Sands, at the foot of the Chisny peak. I love the contrast of colors this photo, but the textures of rock and slag ... ..a mineral landscape.
Panoramique view at 80 m deep
A panorama composed of 7 photos made at 80 meters depth. I had no choice but to put together several pictures to make the size of the scene as accurate as possible. I had to realize this series in full water. The big problem is that you must not move during the shooting sequence.
Panorama beach
A panoramic view taken in the shade of a tree lining one of the M'Tsamboro Island beach.
Into the dark
In the middle of the penumbra, at the edge of this impressive fall, the lighthouse of my friend Olivier illuminates the almost vertical wall. Above us, 100 meters of water separates from the surface. Below us, a mu that goes down more than 200 meters deep. The atmosphere is mystical, as if we were in another world, and it's a real. Panorama composed of 7 photos for 240 million pixels.
M'Tsamboro beach
A panoramic view of the islet of white sand in front of the M'Tamboro island. This little island is only discovered at low tide during the big coefficients.

My friend and partner Olivier browsing the crest of the third fall. A few minutes spent 100 meters deep will cost us 2 hours of decompression for this dive.
At 80 meters depth
A panorama composed of 10 photos which transcribes very well the atmosphere of this environment. I am 80 meters deep, just in my back is the arch. In the middle is the canyon that separates the two massifs. In the distance, we can see the second falling whose ridge is about 55 meters deep.
Volcano Road
Panorama made plain sands highlighting the road known volcano. The plain of sand is a truly magical place where there is an atmosphere that I like enormously.
Panoramic view at 100 meters depth
A panorama made at 100 meters depth. We must be only a small handful of photographer to make this kind of shot. I am so "amused" to get off a tripod with a panoramic head "Home made" to make this shot somewhat unique. Composed of 9 photos for a total of almost 200 million pixels. I am about 20 meters from these magnificent formations connected by an arch. This picture cost me 150 minutes of decompression, but it was worth it. You appreciate the size of these structures by comparing them to the size of the diver.
Underwater panoramic view

Underwater panoramic view

Sunrise at Choungui
A panorama taken one hour before the sunrise on Mount Choungui. The glow of the sun still behind the horizon gradually covers the glow of the stars.
Frosted Panorama
