Chelonia mydas agassizii (Pacific Green Sea Turtle or Galapagos Green Sea Turtle)

            Two adult Pacific Green Sea Turtles from Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos. These turtles were feeding on the algae growing on rocks lining the pass out to the ocean from Puerto Ayora. These turtles could hold their breath for long periods of time, so I sat patiently waiting for them to surface so that I could get a photo. In the meantime, I took some photographs of them grazing under the water. The surface was not particularly calm and the turtles were 3+ m deep, so the resulting photos came out interestingly.
