A scuba diver looks at a large Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbriocota) swimming at the top of the coral reef on the Conch Wall reef off of the coast of Key Largo in the Florida Keys, USA.
These are the most common of the turtles seen in the Caribbean, and the distinctive 'beak' easily identifies larger specimans. They generally have an extremely attractive shell and two pairs of shell plates between their eyes.
