Sapphire Beach - Best Snorkeling day yet Part TURTLE TURTLE TURTLE





The hanger on is a REMORA or SHARKSUCKER.


A remora breaths under the water, while a sea turtle must surface every once in awhile to breath air.  The Sharksucker moves to the bottom of his host when the turtle surfaces...


Once the turtle takes a breath, he drops to the ocean floor to eat more grass (the sucker eats the leftovers), and it all repeats...


He doesn't seem to mind.
