Barracuda!!

[Tortuga Roja]

The most exciting part of the trip was sneaking up into the eye of the schooling barracuda. The guitar riff from the Heart song was screaming in my head. So cool!! :14: :14:

I was using the 10.5mm so you can imagine how close I was. I also had the Magic filter so I wasn't able to do a good sunball shot but using the natural light worked pretty good for getting the detail of the more distant fish. Lotta noise tho.

Wow! Where were you diving?

Beautiful cudas! Swimming in the eye of a cuda school is just breath taking (infact they seem to be afraid of bubbles.. alot of movement when exhaling inside the school). Too bad the bottom is there aswell. Would be even better without it.. in my opinion anyway Great shot!
