Torrents of cardinal fish raced past my lens to avoid a Galápagos sea lion overhead. Even as I lifted my camera to frame the pinniped gliding against the surface, I had to fight to keep myself in place. The current yanked me back towards the reef and high above I could hear the hiss of a powerful wave striking the rocks. Dizzy from the effort of keeping steady and swarmed by living streams of fish, I managed to squeeze the shutter just in time to make the image.
