How deep can a turtle go under water?

Turtles can dive to varying depths depending on the species. For instance, some sea turtles, like the leatherback, can reach depths of over 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) while foraging for jellyfish. Freshwater turtles typically dive to shallower depths, often around 10 to 30 meters (33 to 98 feet). Overall, their diving abilities are adapted to their specific habitats and feeding behaviors.
