These were sailfish finishing a baitball and moving to another. We kept having to jump into the boat, find them, and jump in again. They would attack the bait for awhile, but would move on. One of my friends jumped in with scuba for a different look.

This bay on Isabella Is. was crawling with green sea turtles. The water was quite murky and I was freediving to shoot the shot. These two green sea turtles were interacting and I caught them in a funny moment.

This shot was taken on Wolf Island, Galapagos where we had a ton of hammerheads. It was difficult to get close enough for a shot, but this one was curious. It looks like she has some mating scars. This was shot using a Tokina 10-17mm with a Nikon300S
