[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Since I posted two pics of the Hawksbill Turtle I think that I have to post one of the other common turtle that we have here in the Red Sea.

This is a mature Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas). This one is around 1 meter long and it had two Remoras hanging on catching a free ride.

For more info about turtles, take a look here Hawksbill Turtle

Superbe photo Peter !
Très bon cadrage, éclairage parfait.
Felicitations !
On en voit pas beaucoup des comme ça sur TrekNature.
Nico.

I wish more underwater photography was posted here, made by divers , rather than aquarum tourists behind glass. Underwater photography is always something with a special vibe, regardless of subjects caught, always wonderful. Great looking sea turtle !

Great shot. Can really feel how deep it is by the shades of light. I like the way the diver on the right is looking at the turtle. Good job. Toni

Great underwater shot of the turtle, however I find the persons in the background distracting and I think you would have been better to clone them out before posting.
I like the POV and the sucker fish on the turtle belly.

This is a beautiful shot.. Nicely lit up, and you can see the markings on the head. I didnt realise they are that big.

Belle et intéressante composition aquatique pour cette grosse tortue de mer. Jolies couleurs et bonne netteté.
Well Done !
