Two weeks ago, Rocky, a juvenile green sea turtle, was found by the Key Dives team at Rocky Top Reef acting lethargic. Concerned, the divers rescued Rocky with the permission and guidance of The Turtle Hospital in Marathon. After some rest and rehabilitation to take care of some intestinal issues, Rocky was returned to the reef where he was found. Dive iInstructor Justin Benson of Key Dives, who helped orchestrate Rocky’s rescue, said, “It’s really amazing to be able to put him back. Too often, they can’t go back.” As Benson finished speaking, a pod of dolphins danced behind the Key Dives’ boat. Benson added, “Dolphins — how perfect. It’s as if mother nature is thanking us. That’s what it feels like.”
