Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) Swimming Past Underwater Videographer - 4K Stockvideo

A critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) swims from the surface, past the underwater videographer and onto the reef in the Andaman Sea, Krabi Province, Thailand. The footage, from the videographer's perspective, provides stunning details of the turtle as it glides within inches. Hawksbill turtles, like all sea turtles, need to surface to breathe due to their reliance on air-breathing lungs, despite their aquatic lifestyle.
