A Green Turtle from Maldives. Was easily my most memorable moment of all the dives. This guy was below and swam up to us, inspected us, and then quietly drifted into the depths. It was so close I could feel the force of the water from its flippers on my face. What a feeling it was. Clearly not one that we experience everyday.
The colours on this are incorrectly reproduced due to the limitations of the GoPro in deeper waters.

This is a screen grab from a video I shot of the species hence no EXIF.

Nice. I like how the turtle is swimming into the frame, you "grabbed" the right moment :). I'm sure you can rework the colours... maybe pull back the greens a little. Is there distortion around the edges?

Nice experience of seeing this turtle up so close. How long was the sighting? Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mrudul the sighting was for around 5 mins.

Abhishek,
The GoPro isnt sharp at the edges at all.
