You know how much we love our turtles, so here’s another vid of a beautiful turtle happily munching away, with tech divers Marti Duggan and Steve Wright lurking in the background 😉

Scandi’s Baby Turtles before their trip to Coco Beach

Just a snort snippet of the 54 baby turtles that hatched recently near Scandi Divers. The baby turtles have been moved to Coco Beach as part of their Turtle Sanctuary program, and will remain there for 2-3 years before being released. Hopefully with a better chance of surviving to adulthood.

We wish them the best and will be popping in to visit them when we can 🙂
