Sailing off the Moroccan Coast I thought this was a piece of floating debris. Quite pleasantly surprised it wasn't though! Anyone have any idea as to what species of Turtle this is?

    Hi Karl...nice turtle! I don't know what species he is, but turtles are cool. The shot is a little overexposed. I did a quick job to see the detail on the turtle shell. Hope you don't mind my posting. If so, just pm me and I'll remove. Thanks for sharing! 172512214-M.jpg

    Thanks for your comments!
    I would agree with the comment re: exposure. I didn't have much time to set the camera up as I never expected to see a Turtle. It was a case of run down below, grab the camera and set it to auto before the creature swam away.

    To answer the question of how big it was I would estimate about 5-feet from head to tail.

    Thanks again

    Karl
