A huge school of fish on Swanee Reef

Another large school of fish on Swanee Reef

The shark was at least 15 feet in length, the fisheye lens captures the whole thing nicely.

Very gentle, and very large

Opening its mouth to feed on plankton

The whale shark opening its mouth to feed on plankton.  It has no real teeth, but baleen instead,

These sardines were swimming with the whale sharks

They are very shy, and usually hide back in the sand when approached

These were very common

Very healthy coral

Playing in their cave of exploration

The sea lion pups will let you touch them

In their cave of exploration

This was actually within a few feet of the camera

Well, we weren't really supposed to go in, but we looked at each other and said "why not"
