Deep Clean [Explore] - a photo on Flickriver

            The reef directly below me here is the local sea turtle cleaning station.  The turtles have a symbiotic relationship with the fish living in the reef.  They take turns swimming to the coral head and then hover there for a few minutes while the fish eat the algae from their shells.  It’s a fascinating process to watch.  The turtle you can see in the distance is actually on its way back up to the surface to get some air.  The air bubbles are from a couple scuba divers who swam past along the reef.  You can see the silhouette of one of the divers near the turtle.  The depth of field is a little deceiving.  The diver is actually deeper than the turtle, closer to the ocean floor.
