Stormy Waters
“It was great fun swimming amongst the breaking waves, where the turtles fed. They’d get smashed in to the rocks as they ate but they didn’t seem to care. Lacking the shell, I had to be more careful” – by

Green sea turtles (or Honu, as they are known in Hawai’ian) are often seen swimming and relaxing around the shallows in Oahu, Hawai’i

Leviathan by Cayman Simon

“Taken at the Silver Banks Whale Sanctuary, between the Dominican Republic and Turks & Caicos Islands (Caribbean) in February 2007. She gracefully passed me at about1-2 metres away as I took this shot (with a very wide angle lens) leaving me breathless at my first in-water encounter with a massive whale.”

The Whitetip Reef shark is a fairly small shark, not usually getting bigger than five feet long. These little guys are one of the most common sharks found on Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Its scientific name “Triaenodon obesus” means “Fat Trident-toothed” shark. During the day, the Whitetip Reef shark often rests on the seafloor and continuously gulps water to breathe, meaning it does not have to swim to breathe! This shark is more active at night, and on an island called “Cocos” in the Pacific, the Whitetip Reef sharks have learned to hunt by following divers lights.

More whitetips! Yay!
