We love sea turtles and have spent a lot of time underwater with them. Their beautiful inquisitive faces, when they slowly swim up to you, they look at you curiously and sometimes try to nibble on your gear or cameras. Or when they are resting stuck in a coral reef, in sea sponges or in other unusual places.

Sometimes they swim around us and we admire how beautifully they move, we swim with them to the surface, where they take a breath and then come back and we accompany them.

You can also go snorkeling with turtles and it will be a nice experience, but scuba diving is so much better.

With the scuba tank, we have the air with us and we have a wonderful unlimited experience while swimming with the turtles. We enjoy these moments and the time spent with the sea turtles under the surface while scuba diving. Dive with us at least in this article and enjoy the experience with turtles!
