Yesterday, while snorkeling in Manzanillo, we could hear whales singing - they were too far away to see, but it's so cool to hear that, and nice to know they're in town. Then, I floated about two feet above some rocks and coral and came up on a little dip. Lying in that dip close enough to touch was a medium sized (about 2-feet wide) sea turtle sleeping! I stayed perfectly still and in less than a minute it must have felt the disturbance in the force (HA - Star Wars goes snorkeling), woke up, saw me and took off! Of course, if I woke up from a nap and saw me floating a few feet above, I'd have taken off like a bat-out-of-hell, too!

That is indeed cool! Glad you got to enjoy such an experience. Thanks for sharing!
