The sea turtle is one of the most fascinating creatures you can encounter in the Red Sea, a popular diving destination in Egypt. These majestic animals, which have existed for millions of years, attract the attention of divers and snorkelers alike. In the Red Sea, you can find several species of sea turtles, including the green sea turtle and the hawksbill turtle.
Sea turtles spend most of their lives in the ocean, feeding on seagrass, jellyfish, and other small marine organisms. The clear and warm waters of the Red Sea provide an ideal habitat for these creatures. While sea turtles are found in oceans around the world, the population in the Red Sea is notable due to the relatively pristine coral reefs, which serve as a natural sanctuary.
Unfortunately, sea turtles are threatened globally by human activities, such as pollution and overfishing. However, efforts are being made in Egypt to protect their habitat. For many divers, spotting a sea turtle during a dive is a magical experience, highlighting the importance of marine conservation.
