In watching this video it reminded me of the turtle encounter(s) I had in Maui. They are all over the place in Maui and if you ever dive there I wouldn’t believe you f you told me you didn’t see one. Anyway, I was doing my 3 minute safety stop when a turtle came hanging around. He came right up to me, I mean right in front of me, stopped and just looked at me and wouldn’t leave. I avoided touching him at all cost (which is more than I can say for some other asshole on the dive). Seem surprising, yeah, maybe, but I knew what he wanted. See, before we dove the dive master hooked us up to the mooring and said a turtle was scratching himself on the mooring line. So when I was doing my three minute safety stop I was in his way of scratching himself. Was I privileged for the encounter, maybe, was I special as in the turtle loved me, no; I was just in his way. It was still cool though.
It’s almost 100MB file and youtube is still processing as I posted this, so if the video doesn’t work, come back soon.
