Hawksbill turtle lunch
While we see turtles quite often when we dive, seeing one dining at 140 ft on one of the areas best wrecks is a rare treat. The turtle did not seem to mind that I came rather close and put my 100W video light in its face. In fact as you can see in the end it just swims straight at me and I have to scramble to get out of the way and still it hit the camera while swimming by.
The Hydro Atlantic wreck is one of the few real wrecks in the area. It sunk in 1987 while being towed to Texas for scrapping. It sits in 175 ft of water about a mile of the coast. The main deck is at about 140 ft.
