Scuba diver is in heaven to have this sea turtle literally eating out of her hand
Scuba diving opens up a world of excitement and experiences like few other sports. Every adventure beneath the waves presents different things to see and fascinating things to look at. The animal life in this underwater domain is unique and beautiful beyond description.
Sea turtles are among the most beloved of all the ocean's creatures. They are graceful, and gentle, and even seeing one from a distance will make a dive a memorable one.
Usually shy and likely to venture away at the sight of a human, it is rare to get a prolonged close look at a sea turtle.
This is a critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle, one of the rarest and most beautiful of all the turtles. Once hunted for their ornate shells, they were pushed to the brink of extinction. Scuba divers have fallen in love with these gorgeous turtles and they are thrilled to swim alongside one or capture photographs of them. But this lucky scuba diver is having the experience of a lifetime. The turtle has curiously approached her and is as fascinated with her as she is with him. Knowing that their favourite food is a yellow sea sponge, she has collected a chunk and has broken it into pieces for the little turtle. She literally has it eating out of her hand. Over a short span of time, she has gained the trust of the turtle. This is a dive experience that she will never forget.
