Image shot on San Benedicto Island, Socorro. Fantastic diving with friendly manta's. This was a shot that I planned from home (getting a bit above). Turned out to be rather difficult (light, visibility, composition). Well here is the result.

Just showing the image with the diver putting a hand on the turtle belly could give an politically wrong image. We literally had to (gently) push the turtles away from time to time. The turtles didn't seem to mind. El Puertito, Tenerife.
