Hawksbill
I encountered this Hawksbill
Turtle on a dive in West Palm Beach, FL. He was
very cooperative to the whole video process. He
cruised along doing his turtle thing letting me
get pretty close.
|
 |
Eye
He eyes the camera but just
cruised along. I was careful not to get to close
and disturb him.

 |
Hawksbill
He was only mildly interested
in me as he swam along.
|
 |
Drift
He drifted along with a slow
fin beat checking things out.
|
 |
Close
He let me get pretty close
without getting agitated.
|
 |
Coral
He meandered through the coral
as he swam along.
|
 |
Speed
They look pretty cumbersome in
the water but when they really want to move out a
few beats from their powerful flippers propel
them along at a rapid pace.
|
 |
Curious
I swam along with this turtle
for close to 10 minutes. I think he was curious
about what I was up to and didn't show any signs
of fear.
|
 |
Reef
Here he makes his way over some
sea fans.
|
 |
Close
Up
He slows down to check out
something in the reef close up.
|
 |
Interest
He looked interested in
something in the coral.
|
 |
Green
This little Green Turtle came
to visit me as I finished up from a decompression
dive.
|
 |
Green 2
This little guy was eating some
seaweed that drifted along in the current.
