Palm Beach Turtle Action

6 posts
  1. Hello Wetpixel,

     

    For the most part since the beginning of May the diving's been pretty happening over here in the Palm Beach area, with clear and warm water. Check these photos out - just from the last 10 days. Leatherbacks have been hit or miss (2010 is their "off" year), and these are my first mating greens in five years. I had to choose between the greens and a pair of loggerheads about 200 yards away that were getting ready to mate as well. I spent about an hour with them yesterday, taking well over 200 shots. I like these the best (I think, still have to sleep on it some more).

    Leatherback - the coolest animal on the planet. This big girl was about 8 ft. long and 1,000 lbs. in 30ft of water. She was larger than the males I photographed last year. A religious experience.

    A little treat from the BHB (on fire lately); juvenile jack knife fish.

    Great stuff, planning to get down there tomorrow and Saturday!

    Yes a real 'over-under' in every sense.

  4. Michael,

     

    These are incredible - great job! What an experience - I'm supremely jealous.

     

    Cheers

    You are a punny man :D

     

    Have fun the next two days. But for the record, like James, I am jealous of you and Michael.

  6. Cool shots! And yes - I also like the first one most :D

     

    Cheers
