Turtle at night
by SteveDeNeef
On a night dive at Apo Island I came across this green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), when I saw it I dimmed my light and it came right towards me. Apo Island, Visayas, Philippines.
OK, Bite me!
This photo was taken in Moalboal, Philippines. The fish were biting on each other's cheek. Look at that teeth marks on the cheek of the fish facing towards us. They were moving back and forth so fast and it was very hard to compose and focus on.
