No that is normal. Some times it takes a while before they will start using the basking area. If they are in a room with lots of activity you may consider making the area around the dock where they can't see you. Because most turtles are skitish and won't stay on the dock if they see you.

Also make sure that the basking area is easy to get onto. Can you post a picture of the setup? Are they both eating?
