Kayaker Stumped When Turtle Follows Him, Until He Looks Down

A Love Of The Outdoors

They shared a love for the peace and love of the outdoors while kayaking. It was their break away from work, traffic, and people. The two friends were in Spain and just off the Gran Canaria coast. That’s when they saw something approaching.

They could tell it wasn’t a sea creature. They panicked when they spotted something on its back. That wasn’t all – something was trailing after it.

A Delicate Balance

Many have experienced the beauty of coral reefs and close-up encounters with their inhabitants through snorkeling and diving. A vast array of marine life is living on the picturesque coast off Grand Canaria.

Each member of the food chain plays a vital role if the reef’s ecosystem and its delicate balance. The consequences would be devastating if anything happened to throw it out of balance.

An Unforgettable Experience

As magnificent as the ecosystem is, it is also fragile. Kayakers and snorkelers are often advised to see it alone when they get the chance.

Scuba diving also makes for an unforgettable life experience. The kayaker in this story had a unique experience of his own when his trip led to a strange sight.

A Lucky Photo 

This kayaker’s story isn’t easy to top and was heard about worldwide. Everyone heard about the seal who used an octopus to hit a kayaker in the face.

This photograph was one of the luckiest snapshots ever taken! But the day was more dangerous than it looked and the friends kayaking in Gran Canaria had to be rescued.

Swimming Toward Them

The trip had started just as the two kayakers had imagined, but everything changed when they spotted something in the water. The object swam toward them, and they grew more confused the more they saw of it.

They dismissed the idea of it being a dolphin because of the color, but they shape didn’t give them answers either. The kayakers looked at each other when they realized something was strange.
