For the most part since the beginning of May the diving's been pretty happening over here in the Palm Beach area, with clear and warm water. Check these photos out - just from the last 10 days. Leatherbacks have been hit or miss (2010 is their "off" year), and these are my first mating greens in five years. I had to choose between the greens and a pair of loggerheads about 200 yards away that were getting ready to mate as well. I spent about an hour with them yesterday, taking well over 200 shots. I like these the best (I think, still have to sleep on it some more).
Leatherback - the coolest animal on the planet. This big girl was about 8 ft. long and 1,000 lbs. in 30ft of water. She was larger than the males I photographed last year. A religious experience.
A little treat from the BHB (on fire lately); juvenile jack knife fish.

Great stuff, planning to get down there tomorrow and Saturday!
Yes a real 'over-under' in every sense.
Michael,
These are incredible - great job! What an experience - I'm supremely jealous.
Cheers
James

You are a punny man
Have fun the next two days. But for the record, like James, I am jealous of you and Michael.
Cool shots! And yes - I also like the first one most
