FLATBACK SEA TURTLE
Unlike most turtles, the Flatback Sea Turtle has a flatter shell, hence the name. These unusual turtles will typically lay fewer but larger eggs along the same beach that they hatched from roughly 30 years earlier (now that is a good memory).
Diver Tip:
Although the Flatback Sea Turtle will feed off the coast of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, nesting will only occur along the shores of Australia.
