Happy World Sea Turtle Day! 🐢💙
Today, we're celebrating these amazing ocean creatures who often make up some of the best encounters on our favourite dives. Here are a couple of fun facts about these serene sea dwellers:
🌊 There are seven species of sea turtles: green, hawksbill, loggerhead, olive ridley, leatherback, Kemp's ridley, and flatback.
🛡️ Unlike other turtles, sea turtles can’t hide in their shells.
🦖 Leatherback sea turtles have been around since the time of the dinosaurs!
🌺 Hawksbill sea turtles are immune to certain toxins found in sponges.
✨ Each sea turtle has a unique pattern of scales on its face and shell - just like human fingerprints!
⚠️ All sea turtles are currently on the IUCN Red List of threatened species.
