Hi Darren

Oh my word, how awesome is that?
Was you down there with him/her? I seem to have developed a great love for turtles, since I helped someone who acquired two yellow bellies, if only  I was able to give them the right environment, Terry my husband is quaking!!!
Did you do any conservation Darren or was is just glorious observation?

Yep - managed to get a bit of video of another larger turtle eating too. Will try to load it up later. It was completely oblivious to me being only a few feet away. Really amazing dive:-)
It was merely a holiday with a few friends and family looking for turtles and other wildlife.

Look forward to seeing the video. Great find though wasn't it?

Watched it on Facebook- amazing, I though you done well with the video, it was really clear.  I am useless at facebook, that is a new years resolution.

Thanks Jane - for some reason the autofocus went slightly out, which was a shame:-(
Going back in June looking for Hammerheads, Mantas and hopefully a Whale Shark or two would be nice:-)

That's amazing! I have just passed my open water diving, do you do a lot of diving Darren?
