About Turtle Traffic
Turtle Traffic is a Maratua reef famous for dense turtle encounters, shallow coral ledges, and a relaxed dive when the tide behaves. It is usually handled as a short boat run from the resort side, with green and hawksbill turtles often resting under crevices and table coral. The site works well for photographers and turtle-focused diving, but stronger tides can turn it into a more active drift.
