Sting Rays, Eels, Sea Turtles and Night Diving

In the beginning of the video we encountered two sting rays swimming together. Then a moray eel who had wandered out of his hole and we can see just how long these critters get! Further down current we get a glimpse of a sea turtle eating his lunch on the sea floor, which we were then rudely interrupted by a school of fish.

Later that night we went out night diving on the beach of the resort we were staying at. Night diving is an amazing type of diving where different creatures come out while you’re immersed in a world where everything is dark except the light of the moon shining above through the top of the water like a shimmering skylight. During the night dive we encountered shrimp-like animals, a blue, spotted eel and lobsters.

The next day I had the most amazing encounter with a sea turtle that we witnessed rising to the surface for a breath of air only to return a minute later a foot from my face.
