Turtle Lychee

Meet Lychee – The Little Explorer of Ras Umm Sid

Lychee-adopted

Lychee is a young hawksbill turtle who made her first appearance at Ras Umm Sid, Sharm El Sheikh, in 2025. She was spotted gliding gracefully through the deep blue, as if she owned the ocean! Thanks to Michael Schmidt, who both discovered and adopted her, Lychee officially became part of our catalog. Still small but full of curiosity, she seems to enjoy the freedom of the open water, exploring the reef and beyond. Who knows what adventures await her in her new home?
