Blue Tempeh meets Aunty Betsy under the sea (Pulau Hantu)

Category : marine

Soon you will hear squeals of joy across the blogosphere - yes, Jani Thuaibah of The Blue Tempeh is back after a hiatus and with lots to squeal about too!

"Hey Siva,

Photos of BETSY (we just named it heh) the BIG HAWKSBILL TURTLE at Pulau Hantu.

1.5 metres ... she's so huge! And very auntie... she let us take photos of her for some time before sauntering away slowly... so adorable!

Wai caught it on VIDEO using Ria's video camera too... I caught it on my digi video and another one of cuttlefish mating...

Cool stuff we saw at Hantu on Sunday man!

GREAT STUFF! Ok OK, will blog about it too... haiz... heh..

Jani

Is Betsy the same turtle The Hantu Blogggers spotted on tthe first anniversary dive in march last year? Watch The Blue Tempeh for an interesting account of several underwater dives soon!

Thanks to Jani Thuaibah for the photos.
