Diving with Turtles in the Philippines

Hi Blurt People

I always say when you're bored of turtles you're bored of diving. They are so cool. They are also naturally inquisitive too and often swim up to you for a closer look. I often wonder if they recognise those of us in the water here regularly.

Luckily here in Moalboal we have so many and it's very rare you'll do a dive and not encounter one of these guys.

Old and wise, some of the big ones are easily 80 to 100 years old and even older. probably witnessed both world wars and now an abundance of bubble blowing idiots taking their picture

Awesome creatures and deceptively fast swimmers if they want to be.

But usually they are the epitome of Chillness. No wonder in Finding nemo they were depicted as stoner surfer types, riding the E A C dude
