Pilot Whales and Sun Rays

  A short fin pilot whale and its family lazes about in the sun rays just below the surface. These toothed whales travel in large family groups and can be found all around the world. A few miles off shore of the Big Island, Hawaii is one of the best spots to see them. The water there drops off steeply and is usually calm in the wind shadow of the huge volcanoes. I was lucky enough to be able to free dive under the whales and photograph them from below with the sun rays coming down.
