Green Sea Turtle

Chelonia mydas

Description:

unfortunately he took me by surprise by being underneath an overhang in the middle of a swim though, he backed out then turned towards me and swam right over me up and out , i had to lean right back to avoid him as he was huge! i just wish i hadn't been so surprised i would have taken more and better pics :(

Habitat:

small caves and sea grass between 9 and 12 m deep on Aliwal Shoal
