This green turtle seems to be having a nice, relaxing swim in the warm water of this small protected inlet.
When he comes to the surface, you can get a good look at this color and markings without the distortion of the water.
They are fascinating to watch as they swim. With their oar-like legs, they move through the water much as a bird through the air.
Except for the coloration and the shape of the legs, these look remarkably like the land tortoises we had seen. Amazing how adaptations to two different worlds produces such similar (at least externally) results.
