Acerca de Turtle Head
Turtle Head es un arrecife poco profundo y un pináculo en Beqa Lagoon, con un perfil fácil guiado por el relieve que resulta apto para buceadores recién certificados. La ruta avanza entre cabezas de coral, abanicos de mar y franjas arenosas hasta una cima poco profunda, con el mayor interés en tortugas, tiburones de arrecife, rayas y fauna marina pequeña. Es una inmersión desde barco, así que el día depende más de las condiciones de la laguna y de las instrucciones previas del guía que de cualquier entrada desde costa.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
A relaxed guided scuba profile works best, moving from the shallow top through coral heads and pinnacles at an easy pace.
Freedive
Not a primary freedive target; the site is more useful as a guided shallow scuba dive than as a breath-hold objective.
Snorkel
Snorkeling can be possible on calm guided days over the shallow top, but Turtle Head is mainly a scuba site.
