Whale Sharks

Diving The Crab has saved another turtle. This time a little Olive Ridley turtle. Olive Ridley turtles are generally small with a thin, heart-shaped shell. They can weigh up to 45kg(100lb) and grow up to 75cm (30inches). They feed on both animal and vegetable material - crabs, jelly fish and when times are hard they will feed mostly on algae.

You can see how horribly tangled it is in the deadly net.

Thank you to the Diving The Crab team in Diani for saving yet another turtle. Any donation you make will go directly to this turtle project. We need to urgently stop the fishermen from using these nets. You can help us by donating.

Thank you!
