Vintage footage circa 1998 of our Leather Back Sea Turtle Rescue shot with my Sony Hi-8 Camera in a Ikelite Housing. My brother & I were fortunate to release these two turtles from this fisherman's trap. The Marlin.... not so lucky, but an incredible encounter none the less. Filmed off Newport, Rhode Island.

Original Footage by: Sean Nightingale, Sand Pictures
