An easy way to navigate Edge of Reef can be this one: to start from a curious photo, from an intriguing phenomenon that hits us. And try to know more.
As photographers we try hard to highlight a behaviour, a natural phenomenon. We like to photograph animals while they are doing something, we like to enter in their world secretly, without disturbing...

A new photo for an unusual subject. Pontoh's seahorse, recently discovered, has not yet a scientific name. It is an animal barely 1 cm tall, in competition for the smallest fish in the world. It lives in association with different species of hydroids.
Understandably difficult to see, it has been found for the very first time by a divemaster, Hence Pontoh, a guy from Bunaken. We like to underline as the recreational diving, and in particular specialized activities as underwater photography, often are the starting point for valued scientific discoveries.
More information about Pontoh's seahorse in our lab. To purchase the new DVD from Daniele Iop & Massimo Boyer, with unbeliavable images of the world's smallest seahorse, visit our boutique.
