Mating Turtles



I went diving yesterday in Maui and during our surface interval I saw in the distance something bobbing up and down. I feared for the worst thinking it was a dead tourist but as we approached we saw it was not a body, but two turtle mating. So I did what any photographer would do and and got in the water. I floated on the surface and little by little the current brought them close by. I created several portraits and left them alone. While the encounter lasted only a few moments, I will never forget it.
