Green Sea Slug

This Nudibranch was casually munching away in a tidal pool on Palenque. You can see it's eye if you look closely. It even had "floppy ears" that would stick up when it was submerged but they looked more like they were for breathing

Sea Turtle

This sea turtle swam right up to me. Later i wondered if it had seen it's reflection in my lense and was looking for a fight. There were other turtles in the area and they seemed to frequently get into skirmishes.

Clear Stream Bottom

I think these are younger trout? They were in various places along the stream sharing space along logs with the salmon. They were very skittish so i never got to seem them up close.
