On a recent swim, I’d just seen one turtle swim by, when I turned and saw this turtle approaching. It was quite small, which I like because it means they’re younger and often more curious. The other plus is that their shells are usually in great condition. This one’s certainly was, and the light was such that it positively glowed.
The turtle came quite close, then decided I wasn’t interesting after all and slid away, following the other turtle.

Wow that shell IS spectacular. Another plus for a young turtle is fitting nicely in your frame. That first shot is wonderful.

Yes, I really like the first shot. It’s a bit hit and miss with the focus when they approach like that, but this one came out beautifully.

I don’t see the green, but perhaps it’s the very blue water xx

The green in their name comes from the color of a layer of fat they have, so not something one generally sees!
