The link didn't work, but if it's the head-on turtle shot...you're right...I think that's what he said! Was sleeping and I went close...disturbed his sleep...he looked up at me, then went back to sleep again...

Oh BTW, not sure if you knew, but we've met before...on one of the Kuantan Wreck trip...Paul told me he saw you at the gathering.

Good shots!
Just curious, how close were you to the subject when all these pics are taken?

I think mostly about arm's length? The head on turtle shot should be about 30cm or so...

My judgement of distance not very good underwater.

Either you can get very close to them, or sometimes they will get VERY close to you...

There was this turtle dunno why go swim beside me for a while...maybe in heat...

My dive guide told me once he was looking at something, a turtle came up behind him and tried to hump him...

WAH... old man still so raunchy... must go see what makes the turtle still interested even though it's so old.. a lot of old men (err and old ladies) would be pleased with the findings..
