Fig. 3. Examples of (A) type 1 and (B) type 2 dives. In both dive types, most of the dive was spent in a period of gradual ascent, with this phase being preceded by a short period of more rapid ascent for type 2 dives. Time is shown as GMT, which equals local time at Ascension Island. For each of five turtles migrating back to Ascension Island, 99.4 %, 92.5 %, 100 %, 99.1 % and 96.7 % of dives more than 5 min in duration were either type 1 or type 2.
