Raja Ampat Sea Turtles | Scuba Diving

Turtles are ocean nomads which are threatened globally and are in need of urgent protection. During my recent trip to the Raja Ampat Islands in Indonesia, I was able to observer quite a few different species of Sea Turtles. There are two species of turtles commonly found Raja Ampat: Green and Hawksbill Turtles.

Most of the turtles were not disturbed by our presence. It's now prohibited to kill turtles anywhere in Raja Ampat. Yet, Sea Turtle feeding and nesting grounds must still be protected!

I shot this using a Gopro 4 Silver (1080P, 60fps, -0.5EV) with a Backscatter Filters and a Sealife video strobe. Edited with FCPX.
