Best of Mike #112

From time to time, we come across a turtle that looks like they are caught in the coral.

I have come to learn that this is nothing more than being intent upon the job at hand .... getting a meal.

But this was the first time I saw it and I have to tell you I was worried.

This guy, a Green Sea Turtle was all worked in to this piece of coral in kind of a head down, gravity working against him manner.

Which really led me to believe that he couldn't get out.

As I snapped a few pixtures.... Linda swam around him trying to figure out how we were going to help.

But once he had had enough of us and well before we came up with any kind of plan ... he backed himself out, a little awkwardly but completely without our help and swam away.

I am sure he was muttering to himself.... "damn tourists, I swear, one more diver tries to help me while I'm doing nothing more than getting a meal and somebody is going to get bit".
