Diver relishes once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of swimming alongside Hawksbill Turtle (endangered)
- 10 months ago
This surreal footage captures the moment that made the filmer, Danel Wentzel, realize that perfect timing is a huge blessing.
"I found a Hawksbill Sea Turtle (critically endangered) gliding through the African Seaforest," Danel told WooGlobe. "It's only spotted every couple of years, which made this encounter truly unique.
"To make it even better, this female turtle had a starfish hitching a ride on her shell."
The filmer also reflected on how easily she could have missed this magical moment if just one thing had changed during the day or dive.
