Shot in mid september 2008, it certainly took a while to edit and post-prod but I believe I am near finished with it (though I may re-record the voice over, based on feedback). Don’t hesitate to view it full screen, there should be enough pixel count for that.
A bit of information on the video: it was shot during a liveaboard trip organized by James Smith on the Nekton Pilot. Many rebreather divers from RebreatherWorld came along for 6 days of awesome wreck and reef diving in the Bahamas. We dove our hearts out and filmed the whole thing. I might get a few more videos out of the footage but this short film with the loggerhead turtle cracking open a shell to gobble a hermit crab is certainly the money shot.
I hope you like it, I really welcome any feedback, it’s my first ever ‘finished’ product.
By the way, should I call this post:
- Into the realm of giant sea turtles
- In the realm of giant sea turtles
- In the realm of the loggerhead turtles
- Sugar Wreck Turtles
I can’t decide.

great video and story telling. This is why I LOVE diving with a rebreather, it allows you to become a part of the underwater environment, rather than being a distraction on OC. Try getting those shots with bubbles making tons of noises after every breath.
Thanks. Did you think it was a little long on the rays ?
I prefer "In the realm of the loggerhead turtles".
I love love love this video 🙂
