Hawksbill turtle and gray angelfish taken while diving in Grand Cayman. The turtle is feeding off the sponge to the right and the angelfish is grabbing up the little bits the turtle leaves behind. What is truly amazing about this shot is how close I was able to get to the turtle without scaring him. Close-up shot was taken while lying on the ocean floor roughly 8 from the turtle's face. I think he was fascinated with his reflection in my diopter. Equipment used: Nikonos V underwater camera, 35mm lens w/close-up diopter, and Substrobe 200 on TTL.

A pair of Olive ridley sea turtle hatchlings is seen moving towards the Ocean after being released by marine biologists working on preserving the species, in the Las Lisas beach, in Santa Rosa, Guatemala. The olive ridley sea turtle�(Lepidochelys olivacea), also known commonly as the Pacific ridley sea turtle, is a species of turtle in the family Cheloniidae. The species is the second-smallest and most abundant of all sea turtles found in the world. The turtle is found in warm and tropical waters, primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, but also in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This turtle and the related Kemp's ridley sea turtle are best known for their unique synchronised mass nestings called arribadas, where thousands of females come together on the same beach to lay eggs. Hatchlings are dark gray with a pale yolk scar, but appear all black when wet. Growing to about 61cm (2ft) in carapace length (measured along the curve), the olive ridley sea turtle gets its common name from its olive-colored carapace, which is heart-shaped and rounded. Males and females grow to the same size, but females have a slightly more rounded carapace as compared to males. Females return to the same beach from where they hatched, to lay their eggs. The olive ridley is predominantly carnivorous. Common prey items include tunicates like salps and sea squirts), starfish, sea urchins, bryozoans, squid, bivalves, snails, barnacles, shrimp, crabs, rock lobsters, and sipunculid worms. Additionally, consumption of jellyfish and both adult fish like phoeroides and fish eggs may be indicative of pelagic or open ocean feeding. The olive ridley is also known to feed on filamentous algae in areas devoid of other food sources. Captive studies have indicated some level of cannibalistic behavior in this species. The olive ridley is classified as vulnerable according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Gray turtle stock images, royalty-free photos and pictures

Additionally, consumption of jellyfish and both adult fish like phoeroides and fish eggs may be indicative of pelagic or open ocean feeding. The olive ridley is also known to feed on filamentous algae in areas devoid of other food sources. Captive studies have indicated some level of cannibalistic behavior in this species. The olive ridley is classified as vulnerable according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Gray turtle stock images, royalty-free photos and pictures

Wildlife in El Salvador: An Olive ridley sea turtle hatchling is seen moving towards the Ocean. An Olive ridley sea turtle hatchling is seen moving towards the Ocean after being released by marine biologists working on preserving the species, in the El Zonte beach, in El Salvador. The olive ridley sea turtle(Lepidochelys olivacea), also known commonly as the Pacific ridley sea turtle, is a species of turtle in the family Cheloniidae. The species is the second-smallest and most abundant of all sea turtles found in the world. The turtle is found in warm and tropical waters, primarily in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, but also in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This turtle and the related Kemp's ridley sea turtle are best known for their unique synchronised mass nestings called arribadas, where thousands of females come together on the same beach to lay eggs. Hatchlings are dark gray with a pale yolk scar, but appear all black when wet. Growing to about 61cm (2ft) in carapace length (measured along the curve), the olive ridley sea turtle gets its common name from its olive-colored carapace, which is heart-shaped and rounded. Males and females grow to the same size, but females have a slightly more rounded carapace as compared to males. Females return to the same beach from where they hatched, to lay their eggs. The olive ridley is predominantly carnivorous. Common prey items include tunicates like salps and sea squirts), starfish, sea urchins, bryozoans, squid, bivalves, snails, barnacles, shrimp, crabs, rock lobsters, and sipunculid worms.
