On March 26, 2008, Ocean Frontiers Photo Pro Elly Wray photographed a friendly hawksbill turtle at High Rock Drop-Off in the East End of Grand Cayman. Elly cites the encounter as one of her most memorable dives not only because of the close interaction with this endangered species, but also because it was her first dive photographing in a professional capacity for Ocean Frontiers. Images of this "lucky turtle" have since appeared in magazines and calendars. Two years later, on February 25, 2010, Elly had a similar encounter with a hawksbill turtle while filming on the very same dive site. The curious turtle put her beak right up to the port of the camera. Reminded of her "lucky turtle," Elly compared the video footage to her earlier photographs and was excited to discover that this was indeed the same turtle!
