Hawksbills are one of the more curious turtles, often coming over and inspecting divers. This one was feeding amongst the rubble and I drifted down the slope towards it but eventually found myself nearly on top of it. I managed to stop a mere foot away and yet it continued foraging. Then it seemed to finally notice me, swept itself straight up with its flippers, looked at me, and then almost with a shrug, settled back down to feed again. Perhaps with my tank on my back I looked like a weird cousin.
