Hawksbill Turtle
Saw this Hawksbill Turtle came to the surface as we were gearing up for a dive and see it again during the dive.
The Divemaster was very excited pointing it to me as I later realised, they don't often see Turtles regularly due to the low numbers of them in Fiji. There are lots of Sharks in Fiji including Tiger and Bull Sharks and Turtles are a favourtie food of the Tiger Sharks!
The hawksbill sea turtle is a critically endangered sea turtle belonging to the family Cheloniidae. It is the only extant species in the genus "Eretmochelys". The species has a worldwide distribution, with Atlantic and Indo-Pacific subspecies—"E. i. imbricata" and "E. i. bissa", respectively.
