Had an experience today that reminded me of this thread. It is all very well telling divers not to touch the marine life, but...


Hey look - there's a turtle


Wow, big fella!


Boink!!


No harm, no foul...
 
Ok if they initiate contact but I say let them dictate the way it goes... hmmm well maybe not... I had a bit of a tug o war with an octopus that took a liking to my camera!

I was warned not to get into the "congo line" when the turtles are mating!
