Appendix C. A figure showing the total proportion of time spent diving to > 10 m in each hour and the mean dive depth for three latitudinal bands.

 
   FIG. C1. For three latitudinal bands, the total proportion of time spent diving to > 10 m in each hour (a, c, and e) and the mean dive depth (b, d, and f). Latitudinal bands were: (a, b) < 9°N (n = 2 turtles, n = 625 individual dive profiles received, mean percentage of time spent diving = 41.0 %); (c, d) 18-30°N (n = 7 turtles, n = 3382 individual dive profiles received, mean percentage of time spent diving = 61.1 %); (e, f) > 38°N (n = 7 turtles, n = 3298 individual dive profiles received, mean percentage of time spent diving = 52.0 %).
