🌊🐢 New Turtle Registered at Gordon Reef: Mee

🌊🐢 New Turtle Registered at Gordon Reef: Meet JENNY! 🐢🌊

We are thrilled to announce the registration of a "new" hawksbill turtle at Gordon Reef, thanks to the keen eyes of Tolga Sari and the expert guidance of instructor Fady Yousry Abdou from Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village, who reported the sighting! This exciting discovery was made on June 19, 2024.

Interestingly, this turtle was previously spotted in 2022 at Coral Sea Sensatori House Reef by Paul Middlehurst. However, we were unable to register it at that time. Thanks to the diligent efforts of Tolga, Fady, and the Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village team, we can now officially add this magnificent creature to our Red Sea marine turtles catalogue.

💪The Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village team participated in our staff training held in Sharm: we are really happy to see the results of our efforts in the North!

A big thank you to everyone involved for their dedication to marine life and conservation. Your efforts are making a significant impact!
