Green Turtle breath

An Hawaiian Green Turtle takes a breath in the waters off Hawaii.

I saw this small turtle, near the end of a swim, popping up to take a breath four or five times. Then it dove down and eventually disappeared under a rock shelf to rest. Green Turtles can hold their breath underwater for up to five hours when they’re resting.

      I try for that surface shot every time, but have not yet succeeded in getting a decent one. Either it’s out of focus or the turtle is nowhere to be seen!
