This image was taken on a dive at Sipadan marine reserve. If you look closely you can just make out a huge school of jack fish in background with divers within. These turtles were breeding at time with male doing 'swim overs' for a good 10 minutes!

This photo was taken at Sipadan Island marine reserve. The jackfish created a vortex that you could swim up in to. What an experience. Camera kit consisted of nikon d80, aquatica housing, nikkor 10.5mm fisheye and sea&sea ys110 and d1 strobes.
