may be not the best quality, but I was very happy to combine two things I really love, scuba and photography.
Sea turtles (Superfamily Chelonioidea) are turtles found in all the world's oceans except the Arctic Ocean. There are seven living species of sea turtles: flatback, green, hawksbill, Kemp's ridley, leatherback, loggerhead and olive ridley. The East Pacific subpopulation of the green turtle was previously classified as a separate species, the black turtle, but DNA evidence indicates that it is not evolutionarily distinct from the green turtle. All species except the leatherback are in the family Cheloniidae; the leatherback belongs to the family Dermochelyidae and is its only member.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata

Hi!
Nice shot of that guy. Although there is not much of a B/G but still this pic is catching... and gives us some idea of the endless sea it lives in.
Regards, Rafal
