This is very atypical for turtle behaviour even though I have no doubt that this one has been trained to eat lion fish. I would like to see a marine biologist's opinion about green turtles eating any kind of fish aside from invertebrates!

Hey Ken, I believe it's same turtle according to Jorge. On Colombia Deep, quite aggressive even if divers were not carrying any lionfish.

I dove Columbia Deep last Friday morning. After the safety stop, I surfaced to notice a med. size Greenie right near me, within one or two feet of my head! By the time I fumbled with my GoPro trying to push play, it was already swimming away. I wonder if it was the same hungry guy, lol.

Very likely the same turtle. It likes to come up to divers on safety stops and check people out.
