Bigger Animals

Here are some of my favorite images from some of the larger animals I have seen underwater

Hawksbill Sea Turtle, giving me the eye

Note the beak (upper jaw) protruding to a point, helping to recognize it as a Hawksbill turtle.

Spotted Eagle Ray

note his shovel nose, used for digging in the sand looking for food such as mollusks.
