GRAZIN' ON THE REEF (SULAWESI)

Short video from our recent dives with Murex Manado. The turtle was grazing away at Sachiko so we hung with him for a few minutes:

Nice video - that turtle obviously never got the message that one should not touch the reef

Also she doesn't have control of her buoyancy and trim. Obviously over-tasked and probably already overweighted while adding on weight instead of ditching. She should definitely consider a BPW

Great video. Two years ago during a SI in Raja Ampat, just next to Yenbuba jetty a (smaller) turtle was having a similar feast at maybe 5 feet deep water. I was staring at her while snorkeling for more than 10 minutes and she didn't give a sh*t about me (or maybe she did?) . Too bad I didn't have my camera with me.

They're exempted from that.

I'm fascinated and amused by the turtle wiping its mouth with its flipper.

I got a kick out of that too.

Quite some time ago I was diving the GBR and watching a turtle feed on algae from 2-3 ft away. It was the trigger to get me interested in U/W videography.
