Green Sea Turtle - Roatan Honduras

A video filmed by Vollie Ray near the island of Roatan near Honduras. You can see more dive videos at www.vollieray.com. The video is what I believe to be a Green Sea Turtle, Chelonia mydas. Along for the ride is what looks to be a remora. Another interesting story about the remora; apparently they have been used to capture turtles by tying a rope around their tail and releasing them near a swimming turtle. The remora will then attach itself to the turtle's back at which point both the remora and the turtle can be hauled into the boat.
