Sea Turtle says: You go that way, I'll go this way.

Watery Wednesday

What: Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) on a Malaysian reef.
She decided to head in the opposite direction from the divers in the background!


Where: I took this photo while diving at Pulau Sipadan,

  6. To answer your question: yes - I can see the remora! Didn't know what it was at first - had to look it up after you mentioned it! Didn't know the name in english! But google is so helpful! :)
