SEA TURTLE CLOSE ENCOUNTER!

Ever seen a sea turtle up close? Can't get much closer than swimming along side one!
Sea turtles are beautiful and majestic creatures that bring you happiness and joy when in their presence. Unfortunately, it’s more difficult than you think for them to survive in the world. Sea turtles leave the sea to lay their eggs along beaches in the sand, to hatch in the warm sun. The sea turtle, unknowingly, places the young turtles in harms way. If the eggs manage to remain there until hatched and aren't dug up by a predator, their travel back to the water proves difficult with birds and other predators lurking around.
Many locations along the coasts have begun attempts to assist sea turtles with their journey by creating safety nets and fences along the beaches to keep both animal and humans away from their nests/ birthing grounds.
Dive under with this video and swim along with one. Amazing footage taken in Mayan Riviara, Mexico, swimming with sea turtles only a few meters off the coast. If you find yourself swimming off the coast, keep an eye out for these amazing and curious sea creatures. If they don't approach you first they're easy enough to locate! Watch for their little green heads to surface for a breath and keep an eye out for small schools of fish that follow along with them!
Watch it this video as she reaches out and touches its back as it surfaces for another breath! At one point ( not on video ) another sea turtle swims under the camera-man causing him to strike the top of the shell with his knee! These turtles are so large it felt like kneeing a rock!
Together we can keep these beautiful creatures around and help the thrive in our seas!
Save a turtle... don't litter in our waters!
