Description:

Description: The huge fish turned, offering me its profile! If I hadn't been out of my mind with excitement, I might have had the presence of mind to give my zoom knob a quick twist to widen the angle out to 28mm but I was hypnotized by the sight of this leviathan! This is the last photograph I took, on my last dive in Panama. What a trip!!! I will never forget this visit to Coiba National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The mighty animal's tail swished back and forth, seemingly in slow motion, as it propelled itself away from us at considerable speed.. back into the deep blue space from which it had emerged. I found that I had only a few hundred PSI remaining, with which to do my final saftey stop before completing the dive. So ended my (first) visit to Coiba! Now.. when can I return???? The End of Day 6 and the end of my visit to Panama!. Date: 21 November 2007, 13:24. Source: Leviathan - Part 2 Uploaded by Jacopo Werther. Author: LASZLO ILYES from Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
