Hawksbill Turtle Close Encounter

[Scubagal]

Not sure if this turtle was curious, didn't see me, or just didn't care. Video shot just before our safety stop at Columbia Deep in Cozumel.

Nice! Looks like it almost crashed into you. Can't blame the viz., either.

Excellent. I had a loggerhead come up to me and stare me down...then he drifted off to the side. Sigh...no video.

Here is a video of the encounter as viewed by my wife (turn off the sound as we don't have music to drown out the bubbles). It was pretty cool to witness![video=youtube_share;C2mr0Db3UXM]http://youtu.be/C2mr0Db3UXM[/video]
