We welcomed Mj Haught to Tres Pelicanos and our Pelican family 3 years ago when she was looking for a new dive center to dive with. Although MJ claims to be an amateur and underwater photography is just a hobby we completely disagree. Her beautiful photos, shared marine knowledge and delightful narratives in both English and Spanish have been enjoyed by many. We are pleased to share MJ’s slideshow with you.
We had an experience today that is worthy of a special edition slide show. We got to hang out for several minutes with a loggerhead turtle, whom I think of as an old friend. One year I photographed him inside a little cave.
This old guy is easy to identify because he was hit by a boat’s propeller about, I think, six years ago. You can see the healed indent on the back third of his shell. His activity in the cave was the primary activity today — eating a favorite food, conch.
I asked Divemaster Jose, in his bright Tres Pelicanos orange, to move in close so that you would have a frame of reference as to his size.
