A large female Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas). Nassau, BAH. I swam into fire coral getting this shot. Ouch. Like the stinging nettle of the sea. But the burn lasts like poison ivy.

I swam ahead of this turtle in hopes that he would swim towards me rather then away. I got lucky and it looks like he wanted to hang out and say hi.

He was just hanging out on the sidewalk sunny himself.

This big guy was crossing the road so we stopped for a photo!! He looked so old with moss growing all over his shell & his paw/foot was all mangled. At first we thought he might be a snapping turtle but I think he's a painted turtle. Hope you all have a great weekend, stay safe!!
