The Underwater World #3 - DIVING & SNORKELING with TURTLES, STING RAY and some fish!

Hello Steemit,

hope all of you had a great weekend so far! My third underwater series is finally here, if you haven't had a look at my seocond underwater series - whalesharks please have a look! This week I will show you some photos of my encounter with some Turtles, Sting Ray and some Fish. Australia once again, was the place were I had these great encounter and got the chance to interact and take these photos of these underwater creatures! Green Island which is based in Queensland, was the top spot for my encounters. When I was there, I was lucky too have clear water and not to be surrounded by Tourists....

It takes about 45 minutes from Cairns to get there and really is inexpensive! If you ever were in Cairns and got some free time, then this is definitely a ferry you should take. Snorkeling there really is great! Try not to go there when a lot of tourists are going.... It'll destroy the whole experience...

Have a Look at these beautiful creatures and don't hesitate to ask me any question about my travels in Australia or the Underwater World!

Three interesting facts about turtles:

1. Turtles belong to one of the oldest reptile groups in the world – beating snakes, crocodiles and alligators!
2. Several species of turtles can live to be over a hundred years of age. The oldest ever recorded, named Tu”i Malila, of Tonga Island, passed away at the grand old age of 188!
3. These creatures date back to the time of the dinosaurs, over 200 million years ago – woah!
