Chelonia mydas
When snorkeling in the waters of the Island Kurumba at The Maldives we spotted a turtle.
Its range extends throughout tropical and subtropical seas around the world, with two distinct populations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
It swam around and we grabbed it very shortly to spot it for a good photo. We were very carefull and didn't harm the animal. After we released it he swam away and was very relaxed after a short sprint.
