Scuba Diver and Endangered Species Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricate). - stock photo

This rare Critically Endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) image was captured whilst scuba diving at Phi Phi islands in the Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand. Sea Turtles are reef dwelling creatures who feed mainly on jellyfish and coral. Hawksbill Turtles are classed as critically endangered on the IUCN red list, due to being hunted for their meat and shell. This image shows their primal instinctive behavior as they forage for food on the reef. An incidental, unrecognisable scuba diver is watching the animal. His expression conveying happiness in nature.
