On a night dive at Apo Island I came across this green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), when I saw it I dimmed my light and it came right towards me. Apo Island, Visayas, Philippines.
This photo was taken in Moalboal, Philippines. The fish were biting on each other's cheek. Look at that teeth marks on the cheek of the fish facing towards us. They were moving back and forth so fast and it was very hard to compose and focus on.

I was Lucky to find this Lizardfish feeding on a recent dive in Dumaguete, Philippines. By the time I got my camera ready to shoot the poor blenny was nearly gone. The look of desperation on its face suggests it knows the end is near! Photocomp May '11 - Open
