Underwater on the 25th of December one big and friendly hawksbill turtle
decided to spend some 20 minutes with us. What a pleasure!!!!! After the
turtle took some air from the surface she followed us and we could
observe her closely while Claire, our amazing dive instructor and close
turtle-friend, was giving her instructions on how to avoid the fishermen
nets and to take care of her. A lot of turtles in the Caribbean sea find
their death because of increased fishing activities. More than 60% of
the turtles in les Saintes disappeared/ died in the last 3-4 years.
