That turtle was like a meter long! This and all other photos by author Luciano Abriata.

Turtles, starfish, and colorful fish in warm Mexican waters

Shots in the divers' paradise of Cozumel, off the coast of Mexico.

All this happened in Cozumel, Mexico

I recently shared with you some shots I did while snorkeling and diving in Cozumel, Mexico.

Here I bring you the last part of this mini-saga about life in the warm Mexican seas, with turtles, starfish, fish, corals, and rock formations. All photos shot with my GoPro camera.

Fish playing seek and hide

Do you see this flat fish hiding in the sand?

And this crayfish hiding inside its small cave?

Starfish and a dedicated story

This beach was so quiet… and full of starfish!

I dedicated a story to them:

Colorful fish

The fish in these waters were very colorful. Unfortunately, these colors do not come out very well in the photos. But here you have some examples:

Only one turtle, but quite big

As you saw in the lead photo, we found this beautiful turtle. By “we found” I mean my great guide found! Lucky me that I was with him. Other divers went off their own way, and they missed the turtle!

Although it is quite big (around 1 m long), unlike its terrestrial counterparts this turtle was very agile in the water. (S)he didn’t swim away probably just because (s)he wasn’t afraid of us (plus, we stayed like minimum 5 m away). But it looked so easy in the water, that I guess it could have fleed away very easily it wanted.

Beautiful creature, don’t you think?
