CARIBBEAN SEA TURTLES (CHELONIIDAE)

 
 

These are the turtles from Caribbean sea, where I was sailing in December 2008 - January 2009. I met them near St.Martin and Dominica islands. Visibility was very poor in some places, you can see that on some distant pictures, but anyway, you can still look in the turtles eyes.

Depths here 5 - 30 meters.

You can meet two species of sea turtles in the Caribbean: Chelonia mydas, commonly known as the green turtle and the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata).
