Sea Turtle Swimming

[danr2019]

I saw a few of these on a College biology snorkling trip to the Bahamas. Our Prof told us to swim over and check out a sea turtle, but not to touch it or you could be fined $10,000...and if we did she would fail us on the spot. Some rough traffic rules and hefty fines in the ocean Ill tell ya.

—A Green Sea Turtle

[StephanieLisaTara]

FOR ALL SEA TURTLE LOVERS, (ages 0 to 90) comes a sweet little book you will want to read again and again: I’LL FOLLOW THE MOON. Baby green sea turtle is asleep in his nest way below the beach’s surface. Suddenly he opens one eye – and starts to stretch…crack, crack goes his egg and soon he’s free. Up he digs, then across he crawls, finding the sea by the flickery moonlight on the waves. Mama is waiting in the deep! Can he find her? Read and see!

i've pet a sea turtle before

they're so cute!

[KarlHamiltron]

I had a great experience with two sea turtles while snorkeling in playa del carmen. They swam right up and hung out, i didn't even try to touch them. the one was using me as a shelter while he ate his fish and kept bumping off of my life vest. BEST EVER!

[zebo123100]

I have a small land tortuse it will get bigger than that

[xxtido68xxx]

[agood18]

I had an experience like this at Magic Sands beach, it only lasted seconds but it's one that I will cherish forever! They are truly beautiful creatures!

[allstaranimals]

[EKmion]

Not being racist but we should nuke the monsters that eat these beautiful creatures...

[chikmagvids]

How the fuck do people compare this innocent little thing to the montauk monster which looks more like a dog anyhow.

[FantasticBob7000]

I just got back from Cozumel where I flew formation with a turtle. Gonna post a video soon.

Turtles are awesome.

[dethica]

I think the problem is there a some dive masters out there that just don't teach respect for the sea and the life that lives in them. I've swam with hundreds if not thousands of turtles and have never touched a single one. Sometimes I feel bad for getting too close when I can see they are nervous. The 1 simple rule all visitors should keep in mind is LOOK DON'T TOUCH.

[steeltwistercoaster]

@nasdrave Ya if i was a sea turtle i would be scared of humans

[hunter7754]

@nasdrave

lol i did both

they're actually very friendly and naturally curious

[susiekyle1]

why dont people understand swim with them DONT TOUCH THEM just enjoy them, Ive swam with one for 15 to 18 minutes, amazing no once touching him as tempting as it was

[TonyFirelli]

I wish I was a sea turtle! just chillin, this year be in Bahamas next in Hawaii!

[mynameisalexyu]

imagine riding on one :D

[southport97]

So graceful and majestic. They live to be very old, too!

[230sklassen]

its elegal to fish sea turtles because they are endangoured

[ScrappyDooYah]

i heared its illeagel to fish a sea turtle, is it true, if it is then why is that.

[dothechachaslide1]

@ScrappyDooYah its illegal to hunt sea turtles cuz some species (maybe all, idk) are endangered ;)

[DJjNo1]

dude why would you want to hunt such a cool ass amphibian like that one!? lol he's just chillin!

[thetwogeniuses]

@DJjNo1 hes a reptile not amphibian but DOWN WITH TURTLE HUNTERS they are poopheads to hunt trtls

[crazitaco]

[SEXYmexo]

@DJjNo1 a turtle is a amphibian i think someone needs to go back to school lmao

[delaptravis1]

[laylamarie14]

[BADBRAlNS]

[THEUNKNOWNCHICS]

[theNICAguy]

[thecerealshack]

those things are so cool

[xShad0wGhostx]

The turtle is thinking... * Bitch, no interviews* lol.

[zerosk8ter9]

[fabbe1129k]

Wonderful beautiful animal

[SilverWolfe11]

so graceful! I am glad I have the ability to SEE this footage! THANKS to the photographers; good job. And thanks to my Blue Turtle Man for posting it!

I LOVE TURTLES

[tikkiturtlegal]

great footage...i woud love to be that close to something so beautiful.

[TheAwsomeman22]

ttthhhaaatttsss so cool and they can get BIG!!!!!!

[SuperHellokitty13]

I was not thinking at the time but i will keep that in mind thanks

[SuperHellokitty13]

i saw a sea turtle when i went to Cozumel under water and tried to catch it but then i heard they can bite

[nasdrave]

If you were lucky, he would only bite you and not die of a heart attack. DO NOT touch them unless they initiate contact on their own! As you can see, I let the turtle swim to us not the other way around.

[twilightrock3]

great footage!!..

[DrunkenPandaGuy]

in some places its known as a tortoise. england for instance. but in america a tortoise is a land turtle.

[riskykitty1]

Wow thats incredible!

[moebigsley1976]

So peaceful.

[supercr1]

Leatherback Sea Turtle is the biggest!

[massiga6000]

Not bigger then ancient sea turtles.

[Back2BackJack]

There's a giant turtle at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. The top of it's shell has to be nearly 4 feet off the ground when it's standing. It's probably about 5 feet in diameter as well.

[joinmebowser9000]

Thanks for you do i have a good, big and cute tutle.

i cant thanks in off.

[cranedog]

great video.

[imaturtlegurl]

awesome.

[Mariakulseng]

ay dios mio...... it is sooo beautiful :D

[kdicks123]

thanx for the video. it helped me a lot with my homework of drawing a turtle!

[pyrbaby]

I am so freaking jealous!!!!!

[minniewinnie58]

AWESOME!

[numeroUNOJoBrofan]

thats realy cool! He must have been pretty big!! =)

[tiffyme]

I love how the turtle swams towards you to check you out. There are too many vids of people swiming up and bumping or disturbing these fine creatures. The best way to observe nature is just that - observe. Kudos to you, mate! =)

[nasdrave]

Thanks for noticing. I found the turtles to be very unafraid of us, but we always let them come to us instead of chasing them. Not that in Sipadan that we had to chase them since they were everywhere.

[TonyFirelli]

@nasdrave So if you let it come to you then you can sorta play with it like touch it and look closer but if you see it and chase it you can give it a heart attack!?!?

[nasdrave]

@TonyFirelli Yes, there are as many different "turtlealities" as there are personalities. You can tell when they are nervous. Others have gotten used to people and know that they will be fed and don't mind coming close to you. Unfortunately, it also gives them a false sense of trust for poachers who capture them for sale in illegal markets.

[TonyFirelli]

@nasdrave Yes sad that people capture them in large amounts and sell them as food or their shells, mainly in Asia I really hope they wont go extinct they were around since the dinosaurs and that's cool!

[tothbei]

@nasdrave : Sorry for this, I clicked to vote down by mistake... sorry again...

[SerpentGirl21]

thats a green turtle, they are the biggest turtles in the world

[dasfritz]

Cool video!

[Btrflykiss2185]
