29. Looking for turtles… See any? Not here. The water is too deep. Even if we saw some, it would not be safe to catch them. We should go down by the reef flat.
38. We see something! Is it a green turtle again? If you see one, you have to yell, “Yeah, that’s him!” so Sam can drive the boat in the right direction. Why is Sam driving the boat with his FOOT???
76. Using the little scale Let’s see how much it weighs. We’ll put it in the computer with the other numbers. That will tell us if there are more big turtles or little ones.
77. Hold still, Rik! I’m trying, Lisa… This thing’s heavy! This is the 10th one I’ve lifted today!
78. Is anyone writing this down??? The next one looks big. Better get the harness.
84. Ian cuts a small hole so he can put the camera inside the turtle’s body.
85. After that he puts some air in the turtle’s body. That makes it easier to see. This turtle is small, so guess who is the “operating table”?
86. Bigger turtles go on the harness. Ian’s looking inside with the laparoscope. It’s like a little camera that shines a light into the turtle’s body. If it’s female, he’ll see ovaries. Maybe even eggs!
