People who think turtles are slow definitely haven't encountered one yet personally or are just thinking about those large tortoises they see on TV. Turtles are fast, especially in water. My son even had one that cartwheeled its way to freedom. 

Best camera mode? Manual.

For my money, definitely turtle mode.

It depends upon your experience level.  Personally, I would use manual mode.  Using program/auto is what I'd recommend for anyone who has no idea on how to use their camera.  Aperture priority is a good mode, too because it allows one to use an aperture to create a specific amount of depth of field.

The reason that makes manual mode the best for me is that I never have to worry about my camera's meter being fooled by a very bright/dark element within the scene.  As I move around, there could be something in the scene like a bright reflection of the Sun that will dramatically change the exposure.  In manual mode I never have to worry about that happening.  Furthermore, I know that my photos will have the same look (the same depth of field) since the f/stop used is the same for all the images.

Well, one thing is certain: 
You won't need a particularly fast shutter.
