Species: Pacific Green Sea Turtle | Location: Around Isla Lobos , Ecuador
This photo was taken with my GoPro on my very first snorkel in the Galápagos Islands, eastern itinerary. We saw the sea turtle swim underneath our panga as we were getting ready to get off the boat. I was the first one in the water on that side and this lovely sea turtle came right up to me. Simply breathtaking. The rest of my group couldn’t wait to see my photos after we were done.
