Video of Hawksbill Turtle - having lunch, then a swim.

I think it was pretty cool with me... I spent 15 minutes with the turtle. I was only about a foot away most of the time. I touched the shell a few times, and it could care less. It didn't make any attempt to get away. Actually... when I stopped swimming, so did the turtle... When we finally started swimming away... it followed us for a little bit.

haha, thats pretty funny. I went snorkling in Hawaii one time and my brother and I followed a turtle for about 50 yrds. The way they swim is so beautiful, almost like they are flying in the water.
