Green turtle, Chelonia mydas, at Mid Reef, Sipadan Island, Sabah, Malaysia. Depth: 7.9 metres.

Nikon D300, Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 Fish-eye, Ikelite housing, Dome port, DS161 and DS125 strobes

ISO 200, 1/250, f/11, @ 17mm

There were turtles everywhere around Sipadan Island. Most were green turtles but there were also hawksbill. We seemed to come on one or more every few minutes or they’d swim into us.

About Andrew Trevor-Jones

I have been participating in photography in one form or other since I was very young. It has been a passion that has not left me.

Most of my photographs are of natural subjects both above and below the water, with macro photography being my favourite.

I use Nikon gear and Ikelite housings.
