HUNGRY TURTLE ATTRACTS AN AUDIENCE
SURROUNDED by divers, a hungry green sea turtle enjoys being the centre of attention. While locals and tourists in Puerto Galera, Philippines, enjoy a drink on a floating bar in Sabang Bay, the turtle wades along the seabed in search of food. Finnish photographer Tommi Kokkola, 47, pictured the popular reptile during the 16ft deep dive. Tommi, of Taipei, Taiwan, says: "This turtle is one of the residents of Sabang Bay, often visiting to eat sea grass located under the floating bar. "Most people who see my pictures are surprised to see little turtles so close to the shore.
