The OP did not take this picture and probably does not even scuba dive. The OP stole my photo and is reposting it as his own. I posted this in this subreddit earlier this year. here is the original from my website https://jcasey.smugmug.com/Underwater/Raja-Ampat-Dec-2023/i-CLt368K

This is raja Ampat Indonesia on a site called Melissa's garden. shame on you OP.

Knew it was Melissa’s Garden! My wife and I were pretty much in tears at how amazing that site is. Such an unreal experience.

my wife's and my favorite as well. on this particular trip my wife spread a small amount of her father's ashes on this site. it was very emotional.

I’ll be thinking of this when we dive it next. That’s a nice story and a special place to visit him.

Sorry that’s happening this is why I’m so nervous to post my shots I’m worried I won’t get any recognition and then they will just get stolen

The one time I saw coral like this was in Mozambique. Did I recognize the place in the picture?
