Amazing Turtle's Eye View of the Great Barrier Reef | WWF Australia
The Great Barrier Reef is home to almost 6000 species. Thanks to GoPro, here’s what the journey through it looks like for one of them. Check out this amazing footage of a turtle’s eye view of the Reef.
To find out more about the level of pollution affecting turtles within the Great Barrier Reef, WWF is working on innovative project in Queensland with the support of our partners Banrock Station Wines Environmental Trust, James Cook University, The University of Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, State and Commonwealth government agencies, Indigenous rangers and local community groups.
As part of that project, the opportunity arose to very carefully fit a small GoPro camera to a turtle, to better understand the post-release behaviour of tagged green turtles. The result is this amazing video.

I love you azerrz
This is so beautifully relaxing, I could literally watch hours upon hours of this beautiful creature swimming around the ocean floor
First I was like "Whooooa!!" then I was like "whoooooa" then I was like "whoa"!!
I don't understand how anyone can dislike this.
Please release a 3-week long version of this video. I'd watch it!
As this is as close as I will ever get to swimming on the reef, I am pretty happy with seeing this. Calming.
3:03 Hey what's th- oh crap it's a camera! Act natural...act natural...
Flaps up everyone who tried to hold their breath as long as this turtle.
He just chillin
I love how at 0:17 it's like "See ya Chumps!!"
How amazingly beautiful is Mother Nature, let"s continue the Fight to keep it that way, no more dredging, chemical pollutants, & tourist intrusion! Ann Larsen
Makes me proud to be a living being on Earth. Thanks.

Natalie Trepanier - It was retrieved by a line and that diver. Suction cup attached.
The camera made the turtle so realistic the foreground looks fake lol

This is so hypnotic. Really beautiful stuff.
So beautiful! Looks so free and graceful 🐢
So relaxing to watch.
I love how he pops his head up above water lol
woah this is trippy
I tried swimming above a turtle near the Gilli isles off Bali once & couldn't keep up, even tho it looked as though the turtle was swimming slowly... it was an illusion as it was such a powerful swimmer there was no way I could keep up with it!
I just love this I keep watching it over and over again, thank you :-)
Ahhhh! That fish looked so happy to see that turtle. ; u ; bffs.
Elle est très belle cette tortue, elle cherche de la nourriture!
What a lucky turtle!!!
WOW! Does this mean I don't need to lug 100 plus lbs into the water to SCUBA dive? I'm all for that! The view looks very similar to actual SCUBA diving.
This is the best video footage.
WOW! Thank you for showing this.
Love!!!
so amazing, so beautiful... (thank you)
I cannot love this ENOUGH!
Awesome
What a great perspective!
Great perspective!
2:19 wow its fin scale pattern is arranged just like bird wing feathers.. holly heck, a turtle is an underwater parrot! beek and all
I like turtles
Whooooa !
This video makes me so happy idk why
Awesome!
amazing
So cool.
Amazing video - nice work!
Excelente vídeo gracias
And here we see the sea turtle in its natural habitat. 3:03 I guess he figured out we were here :(
Sweet
It makes one wonder about turtles.
Sammys Adventure The Secret Passage :D :D :D
Cool
Nice! but HD would be cool!!
Well, here's a really relaxing video... Nice job!
I watched this documentary the other day on spiders and you know the most dangerous spider in the world eats bananas. so I've been eating a banana everyday and uhh I don't think its a coincidence but this baccy didn't pay for itself
Use a better glue next time! LOL
cool
How did they manage to do this? Was there a camera on it's back? Did it relay pictures to another camera? Just fascinating. That turtle looks so majestic and is able to cover a lot of territory easily ... or so it seems.

If you watch the whole video you see that after the camera fell of the back of the turtle a diver picked up it up. I think the diver was near by the whole time.

The goPro cam is attached by suction cup to the turtle and a fishing line which was tugged after 10 mins and retrieved

Although this is very cool video, I feel bad for the turtle. Sort of seemed at the beginning that it was stressing him/her out to have a camera strapped to his back, and I don't blame him/her one bit!
Russia was the first to comment ! as well as space first !
Como hicieron para recuperar la cámara?

+Wilmar Chirivi the turtle has to surface for breathing, then the diver removes it.
Yeah I saw you.. you did woahhhh and then wahhhhh and then Whohhhhhhh , yeah that was cool.. Att: NEMO movie
Turtle seems to be disturbed by the camera, so it rubs its back to a rock in order to get rid of the camera.
That's not an "eye-view" but it's still awesome.
I WANT 360 VIDEO NOW

But wait! The turtle didn't get a credit! He ought to sue.
ifelt like i was swimming. 🐟
Imagine if another turtle came up and they both Began to mate..
finding who? finding nemo
Turtle:IM VLOGING!
I. Am. Nemo.
watch this video and at the same time play a song called "Wavestep" by Blank Banshee ;) Thank me later.
That's not a turtle's perspective though. I'm pretty sure a turtle doesn't see its own back. And yes, I'm fun at parties - y u ask?
I’m pretty sure no one watching this video noticed how the reefs are dying. One day it’ll all be gone and our future generations will blame us for this. Mother Earth 🌍 is dying people. Stop the arguments on stupid thing whether the earth is flat or not. Let’s focus on what we have right now and make it better for us and our future generations.
How can you all say this is so "cool" and "relaxing"??? Didn't any of you notice all the the dead corals?? The Great Barrier Reef is supposed to be filled with many different colours, but now it's mostly just white... This is so heartbreaking... Stop polluting the homes of other animals.
Just as I suspected, turtles are boring.
the video is poor. even simple diving could show more. I expected to see turtle hunting, hiding in its lair etc. waste of time.
cool
I like turtles
