 To the left of this photo is where the deep blue starts.

As I was photographing this turtle, a 2 metre long eagle ray came out of the deep blue towards us, then turned around and headed back into the blue.

Post Box Reef is a sloping reef. I don't know the actual depth at the base of the slope. In this area though, 2000 metres is a common depth.

Depth is about 18 metres at this point. It was a shallow dive given it was our 3rd dive of the day.

This is one of the nicest shots of a sea turtle that I have ever seen. I'm loving your diving photos. You are making the most of the underwater gear for your Fuji cam.
