Taking a break from the usual macro stuff here to take some of the large number of Green Turtles that live just off the reef.

Nice break and these things are often very tame, especially when feeding. They really dont care about divers.
 
Beautiful pics! May I ask what your u/w set-up is?
 
Verrrrrrry nice!

You must have a great camera*












* photographer's joke lol
 
Great photos. All the turtles look angry in the photos. :D Good timing with the flipper waving.
 
The reason why stationary turtles look annoyed when we divers approach them . . . is because we're scaring away their cleaning fish:wink: !
 
Camera is an EOS 550D inside an ikelite 450D housing. 10-22mm lens, 8" dome, 1 x DS160 and 1 x DS161 strobes.

Basic, clunky, heavy but it works ok.
