Out of these seven species of sea turtles, five can be found in the Philippines! The green sea turtles, olive ridley sea turtles, hawksbill sea turtles, and leatherback sea turtles have been known to swim and nest within the Philippines. And even though the loggerhead sea turtles have no records of nesting on the islands, they have been spotted within the Philippine ocean territories as well. So you can just imagine the probability of meeting a sea turtle while snorkeling or scuba diving in the Philippines is very high.
