Akumel (where we were diving) means "place of turtles" in Mayan. And we have seen turtles on almost every dive. They also seemed less afraid people. Other places turtles tend to swim away as soon as they see you.
The turtles often had shark sucker remoras with them. They didn't seem to be attached, just hanging around.
Sea turtles are actually quite graceful swimmers.
Most of the ones we saw were Green Turtles, but looking at my photos afterwards, I realized one had been a Hawksbill. The main difference is the shape of their head and beak.
