We went Island hoping last summer. We did snorkeling and turtle watching. It's kind of hard to see the turtle, they were not that many. We are happy to spot one. He is very adorable. We're so happy to see him and took a few shots in our camera. We are only allowed to watch them and take a picture. Since he is in the deepest part, we find hard to capture him. Thanks to our guide who go deeper just to capture this turtle.

Yes, it's very beautiful, I hope I could watch closer. But I don't know how to swim very well without a life jacket. They deserve all the protection in the world. And I'm already satisfied with seeing them from afar.

@Lissiel We are lucky until we can see them healthy, we are killing the planet with the plastic.

@LadyDuck Yes I completely agree, one reason that the turle die is they are eating plastics. They mistaken it for food.

He sure is, it was very fullfilling seeing a turtle swimming freely in the sea, Unlike other turtle I saw who are kept as a pet.

@Ntan822 Oh right, you can't travel when there is a new-born baby. It's okay there is plenty of time. But it is also good to plan ahead of time.

@Lissiel thanks. just 2 weeks ago my sister and also my sister-in-law had a baby... so it's kinda hard going for a vacation now with two newborn babies think we gonna wait until they gonna be about 2-4 month and then maybe will go do something.

Great shot. I was hoping I could learn snorkling . I can swim but snorkling is great so you can see the wonders underneath the sea

It's easy to learn snorkeling if you can't swim-- there's a life jacket to support you. It's a really great experience indeed. Thank you.
