Two from a dive earlier in the week.
This big (about 7') leopard shark was hanging out at the spa, then he'd swim off, then crash into the sand and do some more spa treatments, swim off, crash again...really stirring the sand up and generally being hard to take photos of.
But he did let us pretty close - we visited him several times during the dive and this last time he let us creep very close and hang out for a few minutes with him. Very cool.
Then, for no apparent reason and with no warning, ZOOM! He takes off from the sand right through me!
I grabbed this one shot only but what an experience!
