To celebrate World Turtle Day, experienced British diver Richard Stevens compiled his favourite clips from the last 12 months of this lovable species from dives off the coast of the Maldives and Egypt.

Stevens, who runs Black Manta Photography, captured two of the most common types of turtles, the Hawksbill and the Green Turtle.

Wednesday 23rd May 2018 is "World Turtle Day", and because they are so awesome we just had to put together a short video of some of our turtle highlights in the last 12 months.
All of the footage was shot in the Maldives and at Roots Red Sea in Egypt, and showcases the 2 most common types we encounter - the Hawksbill, and Green turtle (Giant Green Turtle in this case!)

Help us shellebrate these enigmatic and engaging creatures, and give us a thumbs up or maybe share this video to spread some turtle love around the world!

Have a 'turtley' awesome day one and all!!
