I think your site is very nicely designed and easy to navigate. The grey thumbnails in the galleries are a little disconcerting at first as they are hard to see until you put the cursor on them and they 'pop'into full grey scale. It's an interesting way of doing it, but I have to cursor all of them before I can decide which one I want to see first. You might re-think that portion of the site to make it easier to see the thumbnails.

I think the portraits of the fish are your most successful photos for me, and the photo of the sennets is very nice. To me, the wrecks are very flat - both tonally and in dimension. The photo of the propeller being the best in that gallery as your use of additional lighting separates it from the background giving dimension to the scene. In the future, you might want to expirement with the wrecks by using the wreck itself as a backdrop for a foreground subject which you light 1/2 - 1 stop brighter. That would give you a greater tonal range to work with and give a better feeling for size, distance etc. I liked the site and will check back to see what you've done that's new.
