These minnows aren't in any real danger, but I probably wouldn't swim quite so close to that mouth, just to be on the safe side.Florida Common Snapping TurtleManatee Springs State ParkChiefland Florida Olympus OM-D E-M514-42mm II LensPT-EP08 Underwater Housing, PPO-EP01 Lens Port & 14-42mm Zoom GearSea Life Sea Dragon 2000 Underwater Photo Light

Once this snapper moved out from cover, and accustomed to the light, I was able to get in close. I figure Gary probably calmed it down from up there.

You might think these Minnows are in the Danger Zone, but I don't think they're in any real danger. If anything, I think they might feel safe, while they draw in this giant snappers meals.

I was hoping to get a few close up shots as this snapper moved out from cover, nice and easy... apparently it had other ideas. Doesn't seem to phase Gary, who's riding side saddle.
