Leatherback turtle

Leatherback turtle,

We walked up and down the beach for three hours before seeing this giant leatherback turtle haul its normally graceful body up the beach to nest. It was an amazing sight but a little sad when the tourists surrounded it and started flashing cameras in it´s face. We got so many sandfly bites on our feet whilst doing so that we looked like we had smallpox. The itching was unbearable for four days after!´

We also managed to complete a few more dives and make some new friends from Plymouth Marcus and Lousia who are running a dive conservation business on the island and are friends with Hollands friend Chris (also from Plymouth).
