A lot of Turtles

Sea green Turtle-Chelonia mydas-

[Special thanks!:AQUATASTIC Allister]

We can watch many green turtles every dive in Sipadan that is famous for a turtle。

but Mating scene is seen in this for a few days considerable.

I gave it up in around 15 minutes without being over very much once they started mating.

Generally, From July to December is the peak of turtle mating in this area.

Still we have a chance to watch it in underwater or surface.

Sipadan vis is not good especially shallow about 7-8m,

but can see clear watar below 18-20m depth.

シパダン島はカメで有名な島で、ダイブ毎に沢山のカメを見ることができますが

この数日かなりのタイミングで交接シーンも目撃されています。

一度始めるとなかなか終わらず１５分程度であきらめて浮上したこともあります。

一般的にこの周辺では７月から１２月までが交接のピークとのこと。

まだまだ交接シーンを水中や水面で見ることもできるかもしれませんね。

シパダンの透明度はあまり良くなく水面近くは7-8m、18m以深から急にきれいな

水になり20m位見えます。
