Having snorkelled in over 10-15 countries and islands, sharing some of the best places to snorkel with turtles.
1. Agatti Island (Lakshadweep): You can spot many turtles when doing the boat trip from Agatti to Bangaram. In fact, you can even spot stray turtles from the jetty at Agatti!
2. Damaniyat Islands (Oman): Most places | snorkelled, I would see a single turtle in the ocean at a time. In Damaniyat islands, I was stunned to see a bale of
30-40 turtles chilling at one spot. Later I was told, it’s common sighting there. So def this makes it to my Reccos!
3. Gili Islands (Indonesia): My first ever turtle while snorkelling I saw in Gili. While snorkelling at Gili, you can also see the “Nest Statues” that were put artificially inside the ocean to strengthen the coral reefs. It’s a surreal, eerie sight. But adds a lot of flavour to the snorkelling.
