Hawksbill turtle and gray angelfish taken while diving in Grand Cayman. The turtle is feeding off the sponge to the right and the angelfish is grabbing up the little bits the turtle leaves behind. What is truly amazing about this shot is how close I was able to get to the turtle without scaring him. Close-up shot was taken while lying on the ocean floor roughly 8 from the turtle's face. I think he was fascinated with his reflection in my diopter. Equipment used: Nikonos V underwater camera, 35mm lens w/close-up diopter, and Substrobe 200 on TTL.
