It has been a whole week, I have to do it. I have to post another underwater photo. This one is a wide angle shot of some nice fan coral. I thought about getting rid of the shadow of one coral on the next, but I like the depth it brings out.

A picture cannot capture how large a whale shark is. To swim next to one of these animals is simply something else, and I’ve never experienced something else like it.

The current can be strong, there is no use fighting it. Sometimes it is just best to grow with the flow.

I was focused on the spotted moray eel for this shot, but then a little cleaner shrimp popped into the frame. Maybe they had some kind of arrangement to share this little hole in the bottom of the sea.

I immediately forgot about the long, rough boat ride as soon as I spotted my first whale shark. A wide angle lens masks just how massive these guys really are. Despite their size, they weren’t very interested in me, and swam on by looking for more tiny bits of food to filter out of the Caribbean Sea.
