Isla Mujeres, Mexico. This photo is representative of the awesome encounters we had with whale sharks on this trip. We snorkeled near/among dozens of 20-40ft whale sharks as they skimmed plankton (mostly bonito tuna eggs) off the surface. Jen, one of our small Wetpixel group, watches (in awe) respectfully as this giant passes.
A Hawksbill turtle rummages through reef rubble, as two Regal Angelfish and a Moorish Idol hover nearby, hoping the turtle will stir up something good that they can snap up (Rangiroa, Fr. Polynesia)
