    Rhodie the sea turtle

    http://www.jvma.org/

    Rhodie was released back into Samuel's Bay yesterday. He dove straight down and landed on a stingray then headed out to sea and it was all caught on video.

    Thank you some much for this post. Many blessings sent to you, jvma.org, and all that respect the sea environment. Did I miss the video on the site. I would love to see that!!

    I hope Rhodie hangs around the reef there so I can say hello, next time I snorkel there!

    Yetta - Thank you for acknowledging this unique event posted on this forum. We assume Rhodie will be out there in Samuel's Bay as everyone snorkeling or scuba diving will be looking for a sighting. We understand he will probably hang around for awhile then make his way out to sea. Rhodie likes sea sponges and seaweed as he is a vegetarian. As soon as we secure a copy of the film we will post it for everyone to enjoy. It is unclear as to why Rhodie was in a comatose state. However, he came out of it and that is fine with us. We also found out that many sea creatures get hit by those menacing jet skis.

    Again, thank you for your post and we wish Rhodie a long and productive turtle life.

    We would love just to see one in person-but I know we would have a softer spot for them even more in person!

    We've been to a place in Mexico where you can snorkel with them. I can just float and watch them forever, they are so awesome! First time there, one was surfacing for some air and came within about a foot of me. I've been hooked ever since...

    We all fell in love with Rhodie and our good friend and staff member "Delroy Swaby" released Rhodie back into the great blue abyss. Everyone was holding back tears as he was set free. Thank you all for your support.

    This is short clip of Rhodie before he was taken to Kingston for help with the kind efforts of Pam Lawson from the JSPCA.
