Unless noted, the images in these galleries were taken under the oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico off of the Louisiana coast. Even though the water isn't the gin clear stuff found farther south in the Caribbean, there is a special beauty to be found along the structure of the rigs. Large game fish and tiny tropicals share the water column along with corals, crustaceans and a vast array of sea life. I hope you enjoy this glimpse of another world that few get to witness firsthand.
