Coming up for Air
We went for a swim at one our normal locations that always delivers a few turtle encounters. While we were there three tourist boats pulled in to the area and each dropped over 100 snorkelers on top of us. I guess the secret is out. This has always been a well known spot, but overpopulation getting more & more noticeable...We were lucky to run into this huge Honu as it ascended for air well away from the crowd. After a few quick breaths it returned to its coral cave in about 25 feet of water. Thanks for saying hi Mr. Turtle:)
I usually love the blues of the ocean, but for some reason I just love the way turtles photograph in greyscale. I think it's all the contrast on the shell & texture in the fins...
