There were several other sea turtles that bailed when I came over, but this one was very curious and stayed around for several minutes less than a foot from the camera. I don’t believe in chasing the animals as it stresses them out and can be bad for their wellbeing. The trick to getting great wildlife shots is to relax, breath, and enjoy the encounter! Show the animal you are not a threat and remember to be respectful to wildlife always. 🎼 Music by Cold – Blue Skies . . #underwater #videogram #ocean #explorenature #marinelife #filmmaking #gopro #seascapes #protectouroceans #waves #scubadiving #scuba #scubadiver #saveourseas #marineecology #naturelovers #freediving #oceanconservation #underwaterphotography #underwaterwaves #marinebiology #discoverocean #travel #saltlife #oceanlife #paditv #fortheoceans #coralreef A post shared by C O L I N D E L D E G A N (@colindeldegan) on Aug 27, 2018 at 1:59pm PDT View this post on Instagram Cruising Roatan – Behind the lens of “Turtle Crossing” 🐢 taken during a wonderful stay in📍Roatan, HN – #seaturtle #oceanlove – One of the most curious sea turtles I have had the pleasure of diving with, this friendly turtle came right up to my camera rig and posed before cruising on through the sand channel on this Roatan Reef – Music by Illoquence – Darling Won’t You (ft Hazy Nights) . . . #underwaterlife #ocean #explorenature #marinelife #scubalife #seascapes #turtle #waves #scubadiving #scuba #scubadiver #coralreef #marineecology #naturelovers #oceanconservation #underwaterphotography #scubaphoto #videogram #seaphotography #oceanphotography #saltlife #oceanlife #scubaaddict #fortheoceans #seaturtles #wildlifephotography #lovefl #naturephotography A post shared by C O L I N D E L D E G A N (@colindeldegan) on Jul 30, 2018 at 2:02pm PDT View this post on Instagram Behind the lens of “Flight of the Ray”- #stingray #oceanlove – one of several recent shots highlighting the marinelife of the shallow Florida Keys reef system – Music by Cold – Existence. . . . #underwaterlife #ocean #explorenature #marinelife #scubalife #seascapes #instagood #waves #scubadiving #scuba #scubadiver #coralreef #marineecology #naturelovers #oceanconservation #underwaterphotography #scubaphoto #uwpics #seaphotography #oceanphotography #saltlife #oceanlife #uwphoto #fortheoceans #fish #wildlifephotography #lovefl #naturephotography A post shared by C O L I N D E L D E G A N (@colindeldegan) on Jul 23, 2018 at 2:00pm PDT View this post on Instagram Master divers – turtle tuesday #seaturtle #oceanlove Music by Cold – Existence. . . #underwaterlife #ocean #explorenature #marinelife #scubalife #seascapes #marineecology #waves #scubadiving #scuba #scubadiver #coralreef #oceanlove #naturelovers #oceanconservation #underwaterphotography #scubaphoto #uwpics #seaphotography #oceanphotography #saltlife #oceanlife #uwphoto #fortheoceans #fish #wildlifephotography #sea #naturephotography A post shared by C O L I N D E L D E G A N (@colindeldegan) on Jul 17, 2018 at 1:52pm PDT View this post on Instagram Great Hammers of Jupiter – Jupiter, FL – #shark #underthesea — Close encounters with great hammerhead sharks can be rare because of how cautious they are. If they don’t have a good vibe they won’t come close or stay long. This one was checking our group out for over an hour, so we got lots of quality time with this hammer. – Music by Bagul. . . #underwaterlife #ocean #nautical #marinelife #scubalife #seascapes #hammerheadshark #naturelovers #scubadiving #scuba #scubadiver #coralreef #sharks #underwaterphotography #scubaphoto #uwpics #seaphotography #oceanphotography #saltlife #sealife #vacation #fortheoceans #uwphoto #atlantic #atlanticocean #wildlifephotography #fish #naturephotography A post shared by C O L I N D E L D E G A N (@colindeldegan) on Mar 12, 2018 at 2:10pm PDT View this post on Instagram Swimming with Sea Turtles- Behind the lens of “Island Attitude” 🐢 taken during a visit to the Florida Keys Reef Tract in 📍Key Largo, FL – #seaturtle #oceanlove – This turtle was super chill and relaxed during the shoot. Respect is the key to these kind of natural encounters! It is a privilege to be able to swim with these animals in the wild. Approach like a friend not a predator and they might just hang with you for a bit like this one did. PSA: As we approach the summer more divers and snorkelers will be out in the reefs having fun, please stand up for our ocean life and educate others to… 1 – Not to touch and harm the wildlife and corals, no touchy and leave only bubbles! 2 – No discarded trash in the ocean, take it with you and tell others to do the same. The ocean is not the place for trash. 3 – Wear reef safe sunscreen. Not sure which one? Go check out @carriebythesea to see recomendations on her page 4 – Watch for no wake zones and be aware of where you are anchoring! Protect wildlife and the reef 5 – Have fun and make nice with our ocean friends, be respectful and courteous to them we are visitors in their home not ours. 🎼 Music by Nymano – The Man Alone . . #underwater #videogram #ocean #explorenature #marinelife #filmmaking #gopro #seascapes #protectouroceans #waves #scubadiving #scuba #scubadiver #saveourseas #marineecology #naturelovers #freediving #oceanconservation #underwaterphotography #underwaterwaves #marinebiology #discoverocean #travel #saltlife #oceanlife #paditv #fortheoceans #coralreef A post shared by C O L I N D E L D E G A N (@colindeldegan) on May 17, 2019 at 2:08pm PDT
