Maldives Baby! Kandoomaa Fushi Island, South Malé Atoll – Day 4 – Coral Reef Snorkeling – Hawksbill Sea Turtle
At least I think this is a Hawksbill sea turtle – it is difficult to identify precisely by looking at these pictures because I didn’t get a clear enough shot of his (or her) beak. I’m thinking maybe a Hawksbill because the beak does seem to have a sharper, more curved edge? I might be…

Supplied with free snorkeling gear from the hotel, we headed to the South Beach to snorkel!! The water was actually cool! I was shocked! As well, visibility was poor because of the recent rains.
