We are now equipped to dive aboard Allora, so it’s been our pleasure to explore the coral canyons outside the pass in Moorea and we’ve been rewarded with countless Hawksbill Turtle encounters.
Much like the Manta’s belly markings, the ‘mosaic’ pattern on the turtles’ cheek is unique to the individual, so I’ve been getting carried away with my Sony RX100V (in its housing, thanks Marcus for finding a great little camera!) trying to get shots to share with local researchers. ~DS
another big whoa, these are just beautiful
Thank you, Lor. Next time we play the metaphor game, I’ve found my answer: these turtles remind me of you – magnificent, calm and graceful (slooowww moving, too, wink!)
