Only if they join a gang or Al Qaeda....
 
Only this one, the Ninja Turtle (not so teenaged or mutant)...

I can't be sure, but it looks like one of the images taken by Laz Ruda.
 
Googled that photog. and checking his site now, but I haven't found it yet. Would love to know who actually took it... I found it in a most unlikely place, a snark forum completely unrelated to anything even remotely dive-oriented. :mooner:


Laz's website is not very up to date. He is a great photographer. A couple of weeks ago he spent a dive photographing a seahorse giving birth. One of the shots I saw had a baby coming out of the sack, and 4 other recently birthed in the picture as well.
 
Last week I was in Tampa and did the Dive with the Sharks program at the Florida Aquarium and have to agree with git-r-dun that the loggerhead they have as an attitude problem! The saftey diver with me ended up having to basically pin her down as we finished up the time in the tank!!

In the wild I have only snorkeled with some turtles in Maui and actually have some surface with us and we were within 3-5 feet and had no problems.

Did you enjoy the dive? I know the turtle can be a pain in the ass but how about the rest of it?
