This turtle is probably about 3-5 years old, maybe 12" across. He loved to greet divers and especially loved his reflection in my dome port. His beak was touching the front of the port when this was taken. Over the years Watamula Willey found his way in front of my camera, a lot.

Great turtle image! I would love to get an image like of a freshwater turtle. Great detail and a very endearing shot.

WOW! Spectacular! Superb!

makes me want to begin diving again.  I once picked up one of these guys (mine was a baby).  My girlfriend and I watched it and concluded it was having an impossible task of getting out beyond the breakers.  Not yet strong enough.  I carried it out to the swells and released it.  Made me feel good.  It is about love for our fellow creatures.

If I had been blessed with such a shot as you have here, to have a little one come up to me and peer into me....it would be life changer, like the one where the wild gorilla moved up close behind the guy and touched his hair.  

I think you have one of the best wildlife images I have seen.  Thank you.
