Our Famous Sea Turtles
Many green and hawksbill sea turtles tend to have a favourite reef where they like to hang out. They don’t travel much and we rarely see them on other reefs or in other lagoons. As a result, many of them are sighted frequently by divers and snorkelers.
Our famous sea turtles have been named by the first person who photographed them. Some of them have been sighted more than a hundred times! So you do not get to name your adopted sea turtle, but you are very likely to receive regular updates of re-sightings. Multiple people can adopt the same sea turtle. If you would like to name and adopt “your own” sea turtle, please click here.
Please allow 7 days for the issuing of the adoption certificate.
