Face to face with a Green sea turtle.
There’s nothing quite like looking into the eyes of an animal especially a marine one. Just the mere sound of our loud breathing generally annoys them and if we do get lucky enough to come close to them for just that split second, the reflection of the glass on our mask makes it sometimes difficult for them to see our eyes.
Which is why trust is always important. Like with all animals, we need to let them know that we are not here to cause them any harm. The best way is to be patient. Now when I say patient, it can mean 20 mins of your dive but it can also mean multiple dives over multiple days or even weeks. It really depends.
Some might say it as a waste of time. I guess, it all depends on what you’re looking for. Underwater photography is all about timing and in order to gauge that, you need to understand your subject’s behaviour and in order to do that, you need to spend time with them. This requires patience. To me it’s worth every minute.
