2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Green Sea Turtle, Spotts Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Cayman Islands Green Sea Turtle

Species: Green Sea Turtle | Location: Spotts Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Spotts Beach on Grand Cayman is well known as an area to spot and even swim alongside sea turtles as they munch on sea grass. After about 20 minutes of snorkeling and searching, I finally spotted this Green Sea Turtle. I was able to snap this photo as the turtle was getting ready to surface for air. What an experience it is to see these large, gentle creatures gliding through the water as though there's not a care in the world.
