Sun burst Turtle

Some dives are just magical
Some dives are just magical

On our first shark dive in Nassau Bahamas we were heading to the bottom. The grey reef sharks were starking to come into the dive site, but were very hesitant to mingle with a relatively large group of divers, 23 or so divers were in our group. So while the sharks were trying to determine if they wanted to check out our group I came across a hawksbill turtle at about 40 feet. He was heading to the surface so I followed him up for a while before I could get him between me and the sun. I thought about turning off the stobes so he would be only visible as a silhouette. But, decided his shell would add interest to the image.
