Green Turtle encounter

Went diving with my son the other day, ran into a green turtle. Managed to get a few of him actually looking at the turtle and not at me. You can only tell them so many times

Let me know what you think

The shots look good, no. 1 is my favorite. And I agree that it is very hard to get any diver to do what you want (unless he is an experienced model)...

I like #1 best -- lack of bubbles, composition. Is that a green or a hawksbill?

I agree ... nice shots ... but i thought it looked like a Hawksbill also.

Definitely a Green guys, the easiest way to tell is to look at the "plates" between their eyes. A green has two

and a Hawksbill has 4

They also have different shaped mouths with the Hawksbill looking more Hawk (the bird) like, so it's pointier.

There are differences in the shells as well but the other differences are the easiest to tell by.

Gary,

Cool! The 4-plate field mark is good to know.
