Close - but you did not find me shimmering fish as requested.
The seascapesimages site comes the closest to satisfying my question.
The image: http://www.seascapesimages.com/subject/turtles/turtle25.jpg
shows fish around the turtle, but they are not shimmering.
The picture I need will look more like this one:
http://www.seascapesimages.com/subject/turtles/turtle16.jpg -- with
the turtle backlit from above.
A school of fish surrounding the turtle will reflect the light and
shimmer.
I know that I have seen these type of images in magazines and books on
MANY occasions. It's just a matter of finding some diver site out
there that has them available for purchase.
If I could just remember the name of those fish that swim around the
sea turtles, I might be able to find this. Do you know?

Thanks you for the continued attempts. You have done quite a good job
and have found quite a few very good sites with very high quality
images.
Unfortuneatly, none of them quite have what I want.
I would feel quite guilty to ask you to continue searching for the
same $10 amount.
If you want to - I would be willing to pay another $10 to continue the
search. How do we do that?
FYI - the turtles in all these shots are great. Many amazing photos
complete with the exact kinds of backlighting I am looking for.
Unfortuneatly, the fish in all the shots I have seen are in the
background. The photographer is focusing on the turtle and making it
the only subject. I need the fish to be prominent and in the
foreground. They need to be swimming in front of and along side of the
turtle and catching the light. This is like finding a needle in a
haystack, but I know someone has this kind of thing because I have
seen this in National Geo photos and other places. Maybe it has to do
with the locale were the turtles are found and a specific kind of fish
that hovers around the turtles. It also must have to do with the
Photographers asthetics. Maybe the photos you have found are the
"selects" from the photographer and they have others in their personal
collection that fit my bill, but were considered to be rejects. Hard
to know.
Let me know what you want to do about continuing the search. I am
going to go to the rating page and rate you highly for your extra
effort.

Thanks again for the additional searching. You latest search strategy
gave me some ideas and I hit upon "marine photography turtle". This
got me to http://www.earthwindow.com and my photo was right on their
home page. Have a look at this one when you have a chance:
http://www.earthwindow.com/ocean.html
This is exactly what I was looking for. We did it!
